15/11/2013 Newsround

Good afternoon. You are watching Newsround with me, Martin. Have you

been having fun and raising lots of cash today? You tell us your Pudsey

plans as we look ahead to a star-studded night of TV. Find out

why I look a bit of a wally for children in need. But first, to a

part of the world where for a week, children have been trying to cope in

unimaginable conditions. For the first time, we've been hearing from

kids caught up in the typhoon, which tore through the Philippines in

South East Asia. Many have been separated from their families. But

there are places of safety and hope for them too. The BBC's Jeremy Cooke

has been to a school in the badly hit city of Tacloban, which has been

turned into a refugee camp. This is a Philippines high school, one of

the few buildings left standing after the storm surge swept through

here a short time ago. What it is now in essence is a refugee camp.

These people have come in from the region, most of them telling a

similar story of destroyed homes. I am happy that my family is united

and my cousins are alive. One weekend we were all fine and

together and now we do not know if some of them are actually alive.

Most people we have spoken to say they are not hungry, not yet, and

they have water. What they are desperate for a shelter. They have

no homes to go back to. They really do, at this point, need help from

the international community. Teachers from the school are taking

details of the families who are registered. Something like 250

families already. They are taking down names and giving each family a

number. When international aid starts to arrive, they will be

allocated a in an orderly fashion. Everyone is trying to stay positive

but it is positivity in the face of real human tragedy. Now, did you

wear your pyjamas to school today? All round the country, thousands of

you got dressed up in silly stuff to help raise millions of pounds for

Children in Need. These are just some of the brilliant photos you've

sent us. And, tonight, it all gets seriously star-studded. We'll be

able to see an exclusive clip from the Doctor Who 50th anniversary

special. The mighty One Direction will be auctioning off the Pudsey

they designed. And it's the final of the One Show's rickshaw challenge.

Well, loads of you have been doing your bit too. Ricky has been to one

school where they have really been getting into the Children in Need

spirit. I am sure many of you would have turned up to school in your

pyjamas. At this school in Salford, the whole school has turned up

dressed as title case where's Wally? Sentence

do you feel a little bit silly? Quite embarrassed. I feel a little

bit silly but it is all in a good cause. What about you? A little bit

weird. It is all for a good cause. They have this giant cookie here.

You can catch all the action from 7pm tonight. Until then, goodbye.

Thanks, guys. Since the annual Children in Need appeal began in

1980, almost ?700 million has been raised for disadvantaged children

across the UK. One of the projects it helps is Abraham Moss Warriors -

a football club in Manchester - with kids from 44 different countries.

One of them is Ali, who came to the UK from Afghanistan. Since joining,

his confidence has soared. He has even been watched by Manchester

United and says the club's changed his life. I started coming here

three and a half years ago. If I did not have the chance to play for

Abraham Moss warriors, I would probably be sat at home playing

computer games. There is more on that story on the Newsround website.

And you've been telling us how you've been enjoying Children In

Need too. Sophie in Hertfordshire charged ?1 per cake and raised loads

of money for Children in Need. Kaiya in West Yorkshire says, We did Spots

vs Stripes at school. You paid ?1 to enter." And, at one Year five class

in Suffolk, teachers are having a Pie in the Face fundraiser. The

class that raises the most money chooses which teacher gets the pie.

That's all from the Newsround team for today. Enjoy the rest of

Children in Need. Check out the website for some of the cool stuff.
