The Young Chronicle: For 1st Graders Octomer 8th, 2014 | Page 2

YOUNG CHRONICLE Jan 29th, 2014 Where are Kashmir and Assam? And what are Floods? Floods occur when it rains a lot, or when a lot of snow melts suddenly. Mostly, places that have a river flowing close by, experience floods, when the river cannot hold the amount of water. Water then overflows, causing floods. In Jammu and Kashmir, continuous rainfall led to the flooding of the Jhelum and the Tavi rivers. In Assam, it was the Bhramaputra river which flooded. Many people were left homeless, and had no access to food and water, for many days. Houses, schools have sunk. Pray for the flood affected people, and tell your parents to send some food and medicines for the flood victims. Here’s a Prayer for the Flood Victims Oh dear lord, Please hear my plea. Please take care of the people The Assamese, Jammuites, and Kashmiris. Give them health and the courage To build back what they lost. The families who have lost loved ones, Need courage, to move ahead at all cost. Give people the strength To share and help others, In this time of need, We are all bothers and sisters.
