Description

Children cheer at a child friendly space run by Save the Children in the grounds of a school in the Tanauan municipality of Leyte island, Philippines. The space provides support to over a hundred children from the community who were affected by Typhoon Haiyan in November. The UK has supplied sports equipment, art materials, toys and games to help children who lost everything they had in the typhoon, as well as plastic tarpaulins for the roof of the space to provide shelter from the elements.

Erlynjay, 16, helps run the child friendly space: "The typhoon was a very traumatic experience for the children and many have bad memories. By talking and playing games they can ease their stress. Because the children had their homes and belongings destroyed in the typhoon lots of them lost all their toys. The kits mean that when they come here they can play games, do art and play sports like volleyball and basketball.”
