Summary

[edit]
Description

School teacher Jolita* had to rescue some of her pupils when the school they were sheltering from Typhoon Haiyan was flooded by a 3-metre high storm surge.

The school is close to Tacloban's port, on low lying land, and was inundated as the water poured in. She had to rush children upstairs and then break windows to get them out, as the water rose to the height of the first floor in a matter of moments.

She is now living in the school, along with many of the children and their families, as all of their homes were destroyed. The school was badly damaged, but for now it's all they have.
