In April 2021 Student Interns from The Create Caribbean Institute at Dominica State College conducted a series of interviews with residents of Loubiere a village in southwest Dominica (Lesser Antilles) that was deeply affected by hurricane Maria in 2017.
The young interviewees (also Maria-survivors) asked questions about:

- livelihoods and community have been affected by storms
- asked what recovery/healing might mean for their community four years on from Maria
- and asked about their hopes for the future.
