Hope for the best but it will only work if you believe in yourself and other people. If you do you could make a village an actual village which you can live in a house in it and live a happy life. Not just you to make a village but to encourage other people to do is well. But it could happen if you work together help each other and share plus comfort people that have been through a bad time like lost a family member or members. Also wish that something like this wouldn’t happen again.

Hello. I am aware of your recent happenings. I have no idea who has this. If you look carefully inside my bottle you will find some food for one, which will last for one day. I know it’s not much so I have some help. You know there are more people like you that are willing to help. Find them. Start a village. Don’t give up hope! Sooner or later you will be rewarded. In groups you can forage for food and water! There must be some people able to help! If all else fails, use the treasure map below...

Joshua - Letter in a bottle

Do not worry about anything. Even though you have got off to a rough start everything will turn out perfectly in the end, so just be strong and you will have your normal life back as you were before this terrible storm had come. In a few days you will have your own house with your mum and dad and be safe until that happens. People will look after you and will take care of you and will send you money for the rest of your life. Take care. But never give up hope until that day.

Tilly - Letter in a bottle

Dear children in the Philippines,

I am very sorry about what has happened to you. If you have some bits and pieces all over the place, you could maybe rip and cut some bits up and slot them together, so you can have just a little make-shift shelter. I hope everything gets ok in the end, and that you have some money and food. Everything will turn out fine, and if you all stick together and stay strong, you will survive and be fine. I am sorry you have lost family and relatives, and hope you will be fine.

I feel so sad for you and wish I could help but then there is one thing I will suggest, I suggest you keep hoping and keep going building things and helping and I’m sure people will help and give money. Adults there would be extremely grateful if you helped. I know it’s tough but never give keep trying. I’m sure soon it will get fixed soon and everyone will be happy again. Wish you all the best luck. Bye.

Leah - Letter in a bottle

Hello

I know that it is tough for you after the storms and you are struggling for supplies. I saw some have lost family and homes but I am writing to tell you there is hope.

The American military are coming to help you with water, food and survival objects. This is a sad time, but it will get better. You can rebuild together. I am sorry that you are probably living on the streets but there is hope, trust me there is hope for you. There are aeroplanes coming to get you, it is okay. Aid is coming.

Leah.

To whoever reads my message,

Here in England I watched the news and discovered the devastation of the typhoon that came in to your country and made life change. My heart sank as I imagined the pain that you’re feeling. Not only losing your home and belongings but the tragedy of losing loved ones. I feel really sorry for those who died and suffered. I'm sending love and hope to give each and every one of you to give you the courage to keep smiling and stay strong. Help is coming your way never give up.

I'm thinking of you.

Finlay - Letter in a bottle

Typhoon Haiyan destroyed your country nine days ago. Most countries of the world are trying to send you lots of supplies and some help. We are also bringing over Doctors and nurses to help with the people that have been wounded. My family have donated some money to try and help you get fresh water and food. Survivors are being found each and every day so we hope you find your loved ones and friends. I know it must be hard but be positive help is on its way. Do not give up hope supplies will be with you soon.   

Tarne - Letter in a bottle

Dear friend,

The world is pulling together and you will get your life back I promise. Your situation will start to improve as help gets to you and your life will be better soon. I hope you can imagine a better future in your country and I also wish this for you. Happiness will spread around as your country is rebuilt and you can all be happy again.  I wish you well.

Millie C Letter in a bottle

Hello my name is Millie C and I am writing to you today to tell you that you should not give up because the Typhoon will be over soon and all you need is hope. People like me are very lucky but think they're not, I think I am very lucky because England’s not getting all these Hurricanes, Storms, Tornadoes and Typhoons. Most of England is trying to help you and stop children and babies suffering. Babies and children don't suffer here and live a happy life and we think it shouldn't happen over there. DON'T SUFFER LIVE LIFE!

Romola - Letter in a bottle

Hello I am really sorry for your terrible house loss. If I was in your position I don't know how I would cope and now I am going to give you a few tips I have learnt in some books I have read. First, all you need to think about is hope, you need to be hopeful and phenomenal things will happen, and because you were hopeful people started to bring you food and water. If you all gather up to rebuild your houses and after all the food comes and the houses are built the Philippines will be reborn.

A Letter in a Bottle

From www.100wc.net 

"As you will all know I'm sure, there has been a terrible disaster in the Philippines caused by Typhoon Haiyan. Whole towns have been destroyed and thousands of people have died. Many children will have lost their homes and parents.
The Disasters  Emergency Committee here in the UK has set up an appeal to raise funds to help. World Vision is a charity that is working with the DEC and they have set up a project called ‘Bottles of Hope’. This is an appeal for people to fill a water bottle with coins and send them what they save.
They have been in touch with 100WC and have asked if we can help. They know that words of support can really make a difference to people who are having a really rough time so this week’s prompt is to write:
A Letter in a BottleSend some encouragement and hope to those children in the Philippines so that they have the strength and courage to carry on. As usual, it is only to be 100 words long."
