Yesterday we went to visit 3 more schools set up at by EI. The children that we met each time are so lively, the treat you like royalty. I had a few girls kiss my hand when I was greeting them. At one of the schools (which is about 3km away from the shore), the water that reached the school was still 20m high, every house was smashed and demolished. There was no way possible of escaping this deadly force. Out of 160 students, 15 survived and out of 12 teachers, 4 survived. This story is not unique to this school, but it is repeated across Banda Aceh. However, on a positive note, housing is being rebuilt by the Islamic Relief Project. There is a new generation of students at these schools, who are the future of Aceh.
Signing off..
