Dear children/ adults of the Philippines

It’s really heart breaking to hear what has happened in your country. It must be very hard for you figuring out where to sleep and difficult to find food and water to drink. I am from New Zealand where not many disasters happen so I could not imagine what you are feeling like right now. Our country has sent many rescue teams to come and help re-build your city. Our school has fund-raised some money for you to help with all the costs of re-building your city. Don’t worry you’re going to be alright.

Dear children of the Philippine’s.

I’m so sorry, hope you are okay after what happened? Are you and your relative’s safe? If I was you, I’ll try to help people like encourage them, like what I’m doing now. Don’t give up, believe in yourself.

Other people in other places are trying to help you. Sadly they can’t land because of the buildings that tumbled. So if you try and clean the place probably they might be able to land and help even more. 

Don’t give up, have faith in yourself, believe that you can help your community and change the place.

Dear children of the Philippines

I am so sorry about the cause of the typhoon and how all the houses in Philippines were destroyed. It’s going to be ok, the people are going to help you, protect you and keep you safe. Your parents would be worried about you too; the rescue people will help you and your worries.

Try not to cry think of something happy like that you’re going to be ok. You can find friends and people who will help you, you can help them too and survive with them.

From someone in New Zealand

I hope my letter has given you some hope to carry on......

On that dreadful day of September the 11^th   2001.All that way to America When that plane came crash! And boom! Into the twin buildings watching them slowly crumble. It was a horrific sight knowing that a lot of people are going to die. I didn’t want to believe it. All broadcasted on the news. The firemen going in trying to save as much people as they can even when they didn’t know whether or not there returning themselves. I was one of the unfortunate witnesses standing there in shock like everyone else. I will never forget that haunting day.

Frist, frost swizzles on planet earth, underground and on top of pine trees. Time freezes, my watch shivers and crackles at the spot. Birds flew but then dropped by midair, squirrels chasing each other and dropped from the trees above.

Time after time I was lonely, no birds singing or flapping or squirrels chattering. Just leaves crunching under my frosty boots. The sky never changed just a purple, blue sky, I checked my watch. “Oh what’s the point, my watch has stopped.”

 I wondered around, “WOH!” it was frozen, it was freezing. Head first in the pound, BRAIN FREEZE!!!

‘Hey wait for me!!” I called out to Jack.

 “Hurry up slowpoke” he yelled back. Jack and I were biking past a slippery disgusting pond when jack noticed something. He skidded to a stop and pointed to something in the water. I looked down and saw two gumboots sticking out of the water. Jack reached out and pulled…. A body came flying out of the water. It landed next to the bikes.  I screamed and then I fainted. When I came to Jack was over by the dead body, I slowly walked over to Jack and the body…. I looked down and saw a scarecrow.
