The children have lost all their school requirements. Many of these children lived in the hutments along the Marina beach. Some had no home and would carry their possessions to wherever they would squat on the beach as ragpickers. Their families have lost most of their possessions. They continue to live in tents and temporary shelters. While many of lives were difficult, the tsunami has added much more suffering.
Many of these children are suffering from devastating losses especially those who have lost loved ones, as well as their housing. The school remains a constant, a security for their emotional well being. The government school they attend is poorly funded. I (Susan Seats) visited the site and there was an obvious lack of teaching aids. The thousand dollar donation will be divided between the two schools based on the student ratio.
