Children tell earthquake story

Canterbury school children have been given the chance to tell their own story of the recent Christchurch earthquake with the creation of a dedicated website.

The website aims to get primary and intermediate school children talking about the earthquake and understanding how it affected other children in the area.

Adam Hutchinson, website organiser, says, “Without a dedicated resource, the stories of school children might not be heard. This website provides a unique perspective on the quake and allows an outlet for children.”

So far, over 50 children have submitted their personal account about how they experienced and coped with the earthquake. For more information, please visit www.whenmyhomeshook.co.nz.
