Schools Hold Their Future
Ever since the tsunami tragedy I've wondered endlessly about the school children in South Asia who were now uprooted from their normal every day lives. The New York Times today has a report on some students first day of school since the tsunami struck. There are also MUST SEE photographs in their multimedia section. Here's an excerpt from this very moving article By DAVID ROHDE.
Pupils Step Back Into a World of Books, Blackboards, and Hope
"Fatima, 15, fit all three categories: she nearly drowned when the tsunami devastated this town in eastern Sri Lanka; the black head scarf signaled that she was in mourning for her mother; and the waves had destroyed her school uniform, schoolbooks and most of her possessions."
