Earlier this week, we visited Ban Nai Rai, a village in the stages of being rebuilt. The former site was ravaged by the tsunami four years ago. Thanks to local Rotary efforts and those abroad, 300 homes have been constructed. Right now, there are 65 units up in the mostly Muslim community.
There are still shards of its former tenants about - scattered debri, old clothes, toys that were probably loved dearly by some child. It was quite sad and very, very moving to see these people getting on with their lives. Children still being able to smile despite the cards they were dealt. It really makes you wonder about the inner strength that lurks within all of us. I will post photos of the village when I can. Until next time, peace, love and blessings.
