‘My story’-Kostya, 8, Burwood School
On Friday 22 at QEII we had a massive earthquake, everything was shaking and everyone was screaming.
Whenmyhomeshook.co.nz is a website dedicated to helping Canterbury School children overcome the 2011 earthquake by providing a platform where they can openly share their personal earthquake stories and experiences.These stories were turned into a book which was distributed free to all Christchurch libraries and schools. Hosting of the website is covered by oVRcome, a virtual reality app to help people overcome phobias and anxieties.
Hello Kostya,
I am thinking that QEII might be swim place or an Athletics Stadium. I hope you are feeling safer now. It is very sad that Christchurch has had to suffer in such a way. We are all thinking of you though. Especially that school is fun and everyone is trying to help one another in kind ways. Christchurch people are great people !!!
