   I do not want to share the „heavy“ pictures again but some signs and moments of hope.

   We looked at how the schools dealed with the catastrophy and saw the power of communities.
   The survivors collected all of the wet learning materials and used the upper floor to dry these materials to reuse them.

   While there was lots of room for children to speak about the experienced, the lessons continued in the free space to give habit back.

   Volunteers of UNICEF spoke with the children but – much more important:

   They brought material for kids to express creativity and let the bad feelings go to paper.
   To beat the devil out of the brush …
   It felt as if that helped.
