Last month there was a huge earthquake in Kumamoto and students are worried about family back home in Japan. We explain the huge devastation.
About 41 people died in this terrible tragedy and more were injured. Many houses and business were destroyed. Many people had become homeless because of this. Students in Melbourne are worried about family back home. It was a magnitude of 7.0. Some students could not sleep upon hearing the news and some were depressed and had to go home for the funeral.
One student had to send lots of money back home to support his parents who are doing it tough.
Fundraising efforts in Melbourne
Much has been done to raise money for the earthquakes but there was a luncheon on Sunday the 29th of May to raise money.
There have also been some Zumba classes to raise money for Kumamoto.
Students if you are depressed or sad do contact your university's counselling service as they are there for you in times of need. And don't forget that if you need special consideration, do apply for it at your uni.
