Actor Christopher Eccleston has filmed a series of news reports for BBC about the tsunamiin Asia. It shows him in the area of Aceh, meeting with local.they show one every morning, yesterdays was at 7.40 and today it was 7.20, on breakfast.i've found both films really interesting.has anyone else seen them?
COLOMBO – The orphanage, which is built from the support of Hungarians, will be ready within one and a half month in the tsunami hit Sri Lanka. On December 26, 2004 ten thousands lost almost everything they had. The survivors gathered strength from somewhere to restart their lives.
The children look up with their bright eyes onto their new friends, Attila (28) and Mónika (25) Szilágyi. “Sziasztok!” – say the Sri Lankan children when the colleagues of HBAid, Attila and Mónika, visit them in the orphanage next to the one that is being built right now. The children came to like especially Mónika who spends a lot of time with them: they draw, count, play and laugh together. These times they teach each other some words in their own languages. The married couple is in the tsunami hit area since the end of April. The headquarters of HBAid is in the capital, Colombo, but their work takes them to the most severely damaged eastern coast, Ampara and to Galle in the south. Their mission is until December, by then the orphanages have to be ready. Several hundred children will live in them. “We establish a model institute in Kahawa where orphans will be brought up by parents who lost their own children in the tsunami – says Attila who thinks that it was not difficult for them to “adapt”. – Well, the local work tempo and attitude is quite different from that we got used to at home, here everything goes much slower. But at the same time it is very interesting that people can restart their life faster even though they have lost their family, their house, and their belongings – added the couple. – Even though most of them live on trading and fishing, on stormy days they just stand on the beach and watch the ocean. They hope that another natural disaster will not come and that their lives will be restored.”
