UNICEF: Typhoon Reming hits the Philippines
UNICEF is an international organization with offices worldwide, dedicated to the survival, health, rights and education of children in all countries and places. In 2006, Typhoon Reming causes suffering in some regions of the Philippines.<br><br>
In Albay - the province most affected by Reming - up to 90 per cent of all schools have been damaged, many beyond repair. Education for nearly one million children in the areas hit by Reming is now at risk, for the next several months, if not for far longer.<br><br>
UNICEF will be providing tents, and school packs to students, containing vital items such as paper, pens and school books. It will also be supplying materials to repair and rebuild schools, but the rebuilding effort will take time.
<br><br>
It is unlikely that education will return to anything like normal before March, when the three-month school holidays start. The break provides a precious window of opportunity for school rehabilitation. But no one can say with any certainty what Bicol's educational landscape will look like when the new school year starts in June.
