How can children help to rebuild communities?

Children from El Salvador contributed so much after the 2001 earthquakes, by:

  • Helping to clean up refuse and rubble, planting trees and plants
  • Helping to build houses, asking others to help rebuild communities, encouraging those who feel sad
  • Helping each other, encouraging our parents, not being worried, not being afraid, helping other kids who feel scared
  • Bringing water and food or whatever to those who are rebuilding
  • Organising clean-up campaigns, dynamics to make us happier, starting recreational groups
  • Welcoming the institutions that help us reconstruct and not wasting what they give us
  • Holding educational meetings, learning to draw, colour, read, write and express our opinions
  • Helping other communities
  • Caring for little brothers and sisters while our parents are working
  • Organising themselves to rebuild their school
