Burma Cyclone Schools Emergency Appeal

Children in temporary schooling

Emergency Appeal launched for child victims of Burma Cyclone
Schools across Australia are being urged to support School Aid's Emergency Appeal in Burma, following the devastating Cyclone Nargis. Funds raised will help rebuild the lives of Burma's children.
While normal schooling is still a distant reality for many kids in Burma, establishing temporary schooling as quickly as possible will help these kids regain a sense of normalcy and cope with the tragedy they have experienced.
The Burmese government has announced July 1 as the official first day back at school.
School Aid: Kids helping kids has formed a partnership with internationally respected development agency, Save The Children, who have been on the ground in Burma since the cyclone happened. Schools can raise funds toward purchasing specially designed school kits for restarting education in one of the hardest hit regions of Burma, the Eastern Irrawaddy Delta, where up to 100,000 affected children will be aiming to restart school on July 1.
Save The Children can guarantee that the school kits, as well as messages of support, will be delivered directly to kids affected by the cyclone in the Delta.
