ACEH Photos!

Here are some of the photos taken during my Aceh trip last June. Really grateful to Rai for sharing the photos (I don't have a camera, hint hint hehe=).

the team at Changi Airport before leaving for Aceh



the butt of the plane we took



that's me, Shazana, and Rai



Team Aspire in Aceh



the only infrastructure left standing...everything else in the area had been flattened out by the tsunami



this ship was brought by the waves right in the middle of town (far from the sea) and SQUASHED 3 or 4 houses below...talk about instant death.



camwhoring by the paddy fields at dusk



finally meeting the Fajar Hidayah kids



one kid really caught my eye during their performance of a traditional dance



and there he is again...=)



a dance performance by the girls



letterbox-making session! (so later we were able to send letters to the kids and vice versa)



the second day I wore a tudung, a Muslim head-dress for the ladies, as a sign of respect to their culture (and so that I won't feel so out of place hehe=)



Sha-aa and our students, Maulizar and Iskandar



Bebek Yazid washing the dishes



Samsul writing one of us a letter during a blackout



and another cute kid



at the beach..yes I rushed into the water like that, with the tudung, long-sleeved shirt, and pants=)



this kid is really hot. haha.
