00:00There are 311 kids who are enrolled in school, so far 27 are in hospital, 37 are with parents,
00:14one has passed away in hospital, and indeed 86 their whereabouts are known.
00:24We still have 70 kids that are unaccounted, but that does not mean that they are perished
00:33or they are injured, the word is that they are unaccounted for.
00:38We are praying and hoping for the best, and this is where I need to make an appeal.
00:45When this incident happened some parents came here and took away their children and they
00:50have not filed this report.
00:53I am appealing to each and every parent who took their child from here to report the same.
01:06We will give a number that is here in Bachelorette House and the school so that we know where
01:13that child is.
01:15There are still some other children that were held by the neighbours and are with the neighbours
01:21around this community.
01:22I really want to thank this community around here.
01:26Again we are asking community members who have given comfort to these children to report
01:36the same.
01:38That will help us to account for each and every child.
