May 27 - Children who survived China's devastating earthquake get professional help to deal with the trauma.

Large camps such as Mianzhu camp house thousands of evacuees, tents are still in short supply and one tent can hold up to 10 people. With such large groups of people in a confined space, the spread of disease is a constant worry. Children living in the camps have little entertainment and no structure to daily life.
