Tagapul-an at Almagro, Samar

Ang pangkat ng UNICEF at pangkat ng pagsubaybay ng dibisyon ay nagpakita ng di karaniwang dedikasyon, na nagtagumpay sa maalon na dagat, malakas na hangin, at matinding init para tiyakin na ang mga paaralan at kanilang mga mag-aaral ay makatanggap ng buong suporta. Bukod sa pagtitiyak na nasunod ang tamang proseso ng implementasyon sa mga pondo ng DRRMS katulad ng sa pagkukumpuni ng mga gusali at clean-up and clearing operations, ang UNICEF ay mayroon ding malaking naiambag para sa patuloy na makapag-aral ang mga mag-aaral sa mga malalayong isla na ito na sakop ng samar. Ang mga gusali ng paaralan na nasira o kasalukuyang inaayos, ang organisasyon ay nagtayo ng ligtas na pansamantalang lugar para sa pag-aaral at sturdy tents para hindi maantala nang husto ang pagtuturo. Ipinamahagi rin ng UNICEF ang mahahalagang kagamitan sa paaralan tulad ng kuwaderno, lapis, aklat-aralin, at mga kagamitang panturo na angkop sa bawat baitang—lahat ito ay para tiyakin na hindi mapagliban ang mga mag-aaral sa kanilang pag-aaral sa kabila ng mga hamon na kanilang pinag-daanan.

- A child will learn better if they know they are truly safe in school.
