UNICEF After Tsunami, Education & Recreation Solomon Islands

WESTERN PROVINCE, Solomon Islands, 10 July 2007 -- Young children living in the western part of the Solomon Islands have faced tough living conditions and a sense of insecurity since a devastating tsunami triggered by a massive earthquake hit the area in April.
Catastrophic events such as the disaster here can leave children with a significant gap in their education unless something is done to bring both students and teachers back to school as soon as possible. So UNICEF -- in partnership with the Provincial Education Department, Save the Children and World Vision -- is working to reach the affected areas with education and recreation assistance.
