Page 14 Role play instructions Imagine you are in Port-au-Prince a few days after the earthquake. You will be given a role to play. Consider how you would feel and what help would be needed. Remember that there is no electricity in many parts of the city, making communication with others difficult. Read your role card, and whatever other information you are asked to read. Discuss what you would do in your role with others in your group.

Page 15 Role play instructions Try and think about the following: If you are a survivor or someone working to respond to the disaster, what you might say to someone interviewing you? If you are someone who needs to gather stories what you might ask a survivor or worker responding to the disaster? How will you be feeling?
