Children of the Tsunami
They lost homes, family members and friends, possessions, and their dreams turned to nightmares in the tsunami of December 26, 2004. But the young people who survived the murderous wave didn’t lose a future—and for some of these “children of the tsunami” the future could be bright. More than 100 of these brave youngsters participated in a photo workshop sponsored by the organization Insight Out. After being taught how to master a camera they were encouraged to use it to illustrate their post-tsunami world. The results of their work—shown in December at Bangkok’s Foreign Correspondents Club—are very impressive. Remarkable, even, when it’s considered that some of the children are as young as 11. Several of the young photographers are Burmese.

Amazing, touching photos from a different cultural perspective. Just shows WE ARE ALL ONE.
