SchoolAid helps Burmese kids back to school

3 June 2008

Thank you to the many schools who have already supported our Burma Emergency Appeal, following the devastation of Cyclone Nargis. We have been amazed by your brilliant fundraising and heart-felt messages of hope.

Funds raised by Australian schools through the Appeal will be directed toward the purchase of specially designed school kits, containing exercise books, pens, pencils and other materials. These are necessary to allow education to restart in one of the hardest hit regions, the Eastern Irrawaddy Delta, where up to 100,000 children were severely affected by the cyclone. As well as raising funds for these kits, Australian schools can continue to send messages of condolence and solidarity.

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.

SchoolAid has formed a partnership with internationally respected development agency, Save the Children, and can guarantee that the school kits and messages, will reach the cyclone-affected children. Save the Children has been working in Burma for 13 years and responded on the ground with 500 staff, immediately after Cyclone Nargis struck. Save the Children is a lead organisation in rebuilding education in post disaster situations and will also ensure that the school kits are used by Burmese students.
