Cerita Aceh


My Aceh.
By Nisaa

Hi.. I'm Nisaa I'm from Jakarta in Indonesia, I'm 9 years old.
I want to tell you all about Tsunami in Aceh.
Did you hear news about Tsunami? well I know it from the TV.
There are some children who have lost their parents
and there are mothers who have lost all of their children
and even there are men who lost their wives and children.

How do you feel if your parents are suddenly taken away
to the wild salty sea and never see them again ?
How do you feel if your sister or brother bodies are found dead
behind the rumbles of your house ?
How do you feel if you lost your cousins, grandpas, grandmas,
your friends, your teachers and all the people that you like?
and it all happen in one morning?

Well that is how the children in Aceh feel now.
We have to care about how they feel, they need us!
Please help them any way you can.

Thank You
Nisaa
