Christchurch to Nelson school kids

As you may know, Christchurch was struck with another booming 6.3 earthquake on tuesday last week at 12:51 . Exactly 8 days ago many people in this town had found themselves with out a home and didn't have water,electricity,or food , and at least every school in Christchurch was closed .Thousands of cantabrians decided to depart from this trembling town , many of those people being school kids as well . So here in this quiet part of New Zealand , Mapua School has accomadated at least 25 children and have welcomed them with open arms.
8 of those students can be found underneath the roof of room 11 . Sarah , Laura , Sorayya , Grace ,William ,Brie, Caleb and another Grace have joined room 11 happily . Although we have all come from different parts of Christchurch, we can relate to each other about the recent devastations there. Some students with smashed houses , and others just without power, all trying to escape the shocks that seem to repeat themselves every hour or so . This is Sorayya and Grace , saying how great it is to escape Christhurch , if only for a week, but how much Mapua school has welcomed us .
