Three homes with people in front of them sit in the middle of the picture, and six community helpers arrive one at a time around them: a store, a bus, clean water from pipes, firefighters, police and paramedics, plus a phone for calling your local emergency number. Dashed lines then join every helper to the homes to show that each one has its own job and together they help meet everyone's needs.
