Abdul Rahman's story (Grade 5)

It was a Saturday morning, 5.56 am to be precise. The quake happened then. Mum and I ran out of the house.

We need a tent.

The earthquake made everyone scared and sad. All our houses are in ruins. Some people were hit by roof tiles and falling walls. The houses that are still standing are so unstable that you’d be scared to go in.

Everyone started to make a tent out of tarpaulins in their yards to live in. There was going to be aftershocks.

Everyone in the village needs help to rebuild.
