From our Nepalese Children

In Christchurch, we know what emotions are felt when a natural disaster wrecks havoc on your environment and with your lives. Our thoughts go out to the Nepalese people as they struggle to come to terms with the devastation that surrounds them and to find the energy they will need to rebuild their homes and lives. Our thoughts are with you.

Some of our ESOL students leave messages of support for the people of Nepal. A number of these students have immigrated to New Zealand from Nepal, leaving grandparents and other relations behind. It has been reassuring to hear that their families are safe. Our hearts go out to you.

The children’s messages:

To the people of Nepal

I too come from Nepal.  I feel so sorry for you all because I can imagine that it must have been so bad.  My grandparents live in the Central Development Region, which was close to where the earthquake struck. I am so lucky that I wasn’t there at the time. My aunty has told us that our house in Nepal was badly damaged. I do hope that they are managing. There was a bad earthquake in Christchurch only four years ago so we know what it can be like.  The people here are all thinking of you.   Nisha

To the Nepalese People

I am very sorry that you have lost so many people. We have heard about what has happened to lots of large buildings and houses in your country.  I am glad that they are able to find people alive.

 Try not to be too sad. We had a terrible earthquake here in Christchurch four years ago, but the people didn’t give up. I am from India and I wish that I could help.   From Vianca

To the Nepalese People

I am sorry about what has happened to you all because of the earthquake. I know that some people are injured or lost. I hope that your families are safe. Maybe some Christchurch people might come to help you.  Christchurch people know how it feels to have had an earthquake.  Thinking of you – Arozo

To the people of Nepal

I was so sad to hear about the earthquake in your country. I do hope that you have shelter, food and water. I feel bad for Nisha, and her grandparents. I have two friends that come from Nepal and India so I hope everyone is safe.

From Aisha

My name is Jashanpreet and I come from India. I hope that the people from my country come to help you. I know that you will need lots of help. We are thinking about you here in Christchurch.
