family
-exposed to horrendous, terrifying images
-psychological problems; fear of collapse of
certain types of buildings (ex. brick and
mortar) [according to UNICEF
Communications Specialist, Tania McBride]

security
a sense of normalcy
safe space
interaction with caregivers
13. prior to 2010 earthquake, quality of schools were very poor
"...unfit to contribute to socio-economic development"
ex. New Orleans-Hurricane Katrina
-one of the worst urban public schools in the country; 60% of
schools academically unacceptable
-Post Hurricane Katrina, Legislation passes law allowing State of
Louisiana to take control of under-achieving schools.
-Now, 61% of New Orleans is Charter Schools (privately run
public schools)
-High increase in student achievement
-Chance to, not only increase quantity of schools but the quality
of them also.
