Eyes on the storm

What did you do this summer? Go to the seaside? Bite your nails waiting for exam results? Live through a cyclone?

The people of Burma had their worst summer ever. More than 70,000 people died in a cyclone. And they're still counting the dead. Estimated figures border 200,000.

Christian Aid partners are comforting survivors, clearing up and rebuilding. For as long as it takes.
Join us. This exciting resource pack challenges your young people to bring back a future for their peers in Burma, through fundraising and praying.
It includes:
  *an A2 time-line poster plotting the key stages in Christian Aid’s response in the aftermath of the disaster. (you can order a copy for every member of your youth group!)
  *a set of funky postcards with info and activities (see pdf in toolbox)
  *a DVD of pick 'n' mix materials to present the issues to your youth group, including a specially-written rap by hip-hop artist Jahaziel, 30-second unedited film clips of people caught up in natural disasters, and recipes donated by celebrity chief Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

Here, you can check out these great video clips:
