In Temsult, there was one man who encapsulated the very essence of community living: Hamid. He had spent his entire life in this picturesque village, dedicated to its people and their well-being. His old, weathered car became an emblem of hope and connectivity, for he was not just a driver but a lifeline for all those who depended on his services.

Hamid was the kind of man you could simply call, and he'd be there, ready to help. He was an unwavering pillar of support for the community, always willing to assist with a heart full of generosity. It wasn't just goods and belongings that Hamid transported; he carried the dreams and hopes of those he served.

He was more than a good man; he was an exceptional human being. Selflessness flowed through his veins, and his actions spoke louder than words. Hamid's wife resided with his father, and they eagerly awaited the arrival of a new life into their family, for she was pregnant at the time.

As we walked through the devastated remnants of Temsult, it was Hamid's brother who guided us, providing insight into the village Hamid had held dear for 35 long years. There was a sense of melancholy that hung heavy in the air as we listened to the tragic story of Hamid.

The man's courageous attempt to save his pregnant wife had cost him his life when a massive chunk of debris struck him in the face. He had fought valiantly for survival, but in this remote and isolated land, help was too far away. The heart-wrenching truth is that these villages are a world apart from the assistance of modern civilization and Essaid, our guide, wept as he recounted the harrowing tale.

Amid the ruins of Temsult, Hamid’s brother found the strength to thank us, expressing his deep gratitude that we had come to bear witness to their tragedy. He wished for the world to know that the man they had lost, Said’s dear friend and his own brother, was the most celebrated person in Temsult. His words were a poignant reminder that Hamid was an institution unto himself, offering his help when he had almost nothing to spare.

Hamid's story wasn't just one of sorrow; it was an ode to the enduring power of compassion and selflessness. It was a testament to the unwavering spirit of humanity, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Though Hamid was no longer with them, his legacy continued to inspire, a beacon of hope for the people of Temsult and a shining example of the incredible impact that one person's kindness could have on an entire community.
