SLIDE SHOW Posted: December 4, 2008   
Children Return to School in Myanmar FLASH VERSION
When Cyclone Nargis struck Myanmar in early May 2008, tens of thousands of people were killed and many homes and other buildings leveled. About half of the schools were destroyed in the storm-affected areas in the South, and aid organizations scrambled to help the country rebuild and the children return to school.
