Mudslide children: getting a "school in a box"

Shelterbox, the Cornish aid organisation, has sent 10 tented school rooms to Mbale in the East of Uganda.
More than 1,300 children are living in a refugee camp in Mbale after being made homeless by mudslides.
The city is close to the Buduba region of Uganda, where torrential rain caused landslides. At least three hillside villages were buried and around 350 people killed.

Another live music charity event is being held in Truro this Saturday to raise money for the Shelterbox Haiti appeal.
There will be something for everyone and dancing in the street if last week's event is anything to go by, with half hour sets from rock groups, fiddlers and a steel drum troupe.
