‘The earth was breaking’- Ethan, 3
I was at pre-school, and the earth was breaking, and we got under the table, and we cuddled, and I was brave, and I had a lolly, and that's the end of the story.
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.
Dear Ethan
You were very brave and very strong. Well done.
I hope you are feeling better now and I shall think of you lots of times.
