"It took two months before we could renew teaching in the ruined school and it took more than a year before we received new equipment," said one young girl. "We are very glad that we once again have chairs in our classroom and that we can read comments from large sheets, " continued her older classmate Hanna, a student in the 10th grade. Children are now able to go back to the school in Burgos. As a thank you to Caritas Czech Republic and to the many generous donors who contributed to the collection to help the Philippines after typhoon Haiyan in November 2013, the children painted dozens of votive greeting cards.
