 | UNICEF: Helping Chinese children cope with trauma MIANYANG CITY, China, 21 May 2008— Wang Yue, a fourth-grade primary school student can't think about the events of last week's earthquake in Sichuan province without crying. "When the earthquake happened, I had just finished my work in the vegetable garden and planned to watch TV. In less than a minute, the earth started to quake. I didn't know it was an earthquake in the first place. My only thought was to rush out. After I escaped, the house just fell to the ground," she said. UNICEF is part of a high level Chinese government mission to Sichuan province that will provide immediate support for children who are suffering mental trauma.

 | UNICEF: After the quake, back to school in China NEW YORK, USA, 6 June 2008 -- UNICEF has concluded its second assessment mission through China's quake-damaged Sichuan province, organized to identify the most pressing needs for the millions of children whose schooling was disrupted by last month's earthquake. The most recent data indicate that nearly 7,000 schools were completely destroyed. Another 3,000 were damaged during the quake. Most of the students in the province are now attending class in temporary structures. Some of them have been relocated from their rural homes to do so. "We're here on an education mission to look at what ... can the government do, what resources have they been able to mobilize?" said UNICEF Deputy Director in China David McLoughlin. "What are the gaps and how can UNICEF, with their experience, contribute to that?" To read the full story, visit: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/china_44390.html |
 | UNICEF: First response in China after quake. SICHUAN, China, 14 May 2008 -- Two days after the largest earthquake to hit China in a generation, the Chinese Government formally requested the support of the international community to respond to the needs of affected families. There are an estimated 12 million school age children in Sichuan Province. More than 2 million of them live in the most damaged prefectures, according to UNICEF Communication Officer Dale Rutstein, who asserts that it is "no longer possible to keep track of the number of schools and public buildings that have collapsed, burying many children and adults under rubble." In response to today's request for aid, UNICEF China is readying relief supplies with an initial emphasis on health kits, tents and shelter materials, and water and sanitation supplies. Over the next few weeks, it is estimated that approximately $5 million will be needed to fully respond to immediate needs. Funds generated for the response to this disaster will most likely be used for the early relief phase as well as the longer-term recovery and development of quake-affected communities.

 | Chinese School Girls Getting Slammed by Holy Spirit Despite severe persecution, Christians in China are flourishing and churches are growing. China is a magnificent country, full of history, mystery and captivating beauty. But behind the wall lies a terrible truth, a truth about which many Westerners are unaware. Chinese Christians suffer unimaginable brutality and suffering because of their faith. Meet first-hand those who live, work, and sacrifice daily for their belief in Christ. Underground Christians report brutal beatings and other torture, including a method seemed designed for Christians that entails crushing the ankles of victims while they are forced to kneel--this "Christian" torture was applied to Liu Zhenying, one of the eight arrested in Henan in March, breaking his ankle. On Sept. 24, 1996, in Tanghe, Henan, police arrested Elder Feng, Brother Zheng, Brother Xin, Sister Li, and Sister Luo. According to a note smuggled from prison, the authorities bound Sister Luo's arms behind her in an agonizing position and she was beaten unconscious. One of the men almost died from being beaten "for nine days and nights." Members of the group were also poked with electric cattle prods, often while bound. They have been sentenced to three years' labor camp. In Sichuan the police have been arresting and fining Christians once or twice a year as a form of extortion. If the family can't pay, the police beat the detainee, sometimes while he is suspended from the ceiling. Often they will do this in the presence of the family until the family is ready to do anything to pay. VIDEO CREDIT: LeftBehind777 |
 | "Every Child's Home": Chinese children bring music to UNICEF NEW YORK, USA, 27 February 2007 -- Resplendent in red and bursting with energy, 21 Chinese children took to the stage at UNICEF headquarters today to celebrate more than half a century of partnership for children.

"UNICEF is every child's home," said group leader Li Yihong. "Since the 1940s UNICEF has worked very closely in China, and this is a great opportunity for the children to see what the organization does and to say thank you."
