The devastating earthquake in Haiti has stimulated a huge international Aid and relief effort to assist the local population.

Oxfam Education has already produced educational resources on this natural disaster. The presentation slides and notes will help schools that intend to run assemblies or fundraising activities to support the relief and recovery work in Haiti, and facilitate discussion of issues of responsible global citizenship

The Oxfam website also has an online diary written by one of its Aid workers in the country, which provides a fresh perspective on the charitable relief operations and the situation in Haiti.

Mercy Corps and the Edinburgh Disasters Response Committee has also produced an Education pack, available in our Glow Group for International Education.
