Haiti earthquake: Getting back to school after the quake (BBC World Service)
Outlook has been hearing the stories of some of the children caught up in Haiti's devastating earthquake.
Many have lost family members and friends, and most have lost their homes as well.
Even getting back to school is a major achievement in Haiti, with so many buildings destroyed or badly damaged.
At the Christian Light School in Port-au-Prince, children are now having lessons in tents in the playground.
But some of the children have managed to link up for a satellite phone conversation with pupils from a school in West London.
It is all part of the click BBC School Report News Day, a project which brings together British school children with pupils from around the world.
Outlook's Matthew Bannister spoke to three of the children from the school in Haiti - 15 year-old Djeanice, 14 year-old Francisco and 12 year-old Alex.
Djeanice's grandmother died during the earthquake and Francisco lost his younger brother.
Matthew also spoke to Sherrie Fausey - the principal of the school - who only survived the earthquake because she was standing up rather than sitting down, when it struck.
