| £5.5m needed to restore education in quake zone | |
| 2006-02-21 | |
Save the Children, a non-government organisation (NGO), has appealed for £5.5million to international donors, including the Department for International Development (DFID), the European Union (EU) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to help restore the education system in the quake-hit areas. “Rebuilding all schools will take years. It is completely unacceptable for children to miss out on their education. It will have a negative effect on their future,” Peter Sykes, the emergency programme manager, said.

| #4 And if we only had a tax, we could skim from it, throw a few crumbs at this, and ignore your objections and demands for accountability! Damned Americans! It's unfair that you have so much wealth! |
