Post earthquake trauma

Pinkey has been diligently working to help children  through the emotional trauma they experienced during the earthquake.  At a program in Biratnagar, she sang songs with them, helped them draw pictures of their feelings, invited them to share stories of their experiences during the earthquake, and provided the all important refreshments at the end!  The kids were open and receptive and begged Pinkey to arrange more programs for them.

Prajwal, a 12-year-old boy, said he was playing along the road side near a small river when he saw the water suddenly moving like a big river.  He thought a flood was coming and ran to his parents.  He said they lived at the road side without a tent for 5 days after the earthquake.
