Vitamin Day in Orphanage Citra We arrived around 11.00 am local time, the children already waited for us, they sat nicely in the sofa. Most of the children who lived in that house are the tsunami victims who lost their mom and dad, they are all around five to 10 years old in age range. Some of them still have one or two family members like brothers or sisters left, but unluckily they are also not far from their age, practically they couldn't do much to look after their brothers and sisters.
Rotarians in Aceh Aid in third world countries is tricky and riddled with corruption. I am pleased to say that I was satisfied with the procedures, checks and balances in place for District 3400 (which encompasses all of Indonesia) and that your donors will be very well-served by channeling their tsunami relief contributions through Rotary. Rebuilding will take a sustained effort, and Rotary is well-positioned and District 3400 is committed to seeing it all the way through.
