School's out on Sonit

LUWUK, Central Sulawesi: As many as 114 elementary school pupils on Sonit island have not been able to resume classes since a powerful earthquake destroyed their school buildings last month, Antara reported on Saturday.

The quake virtually flattened the island and hundreds of people had to be evacuated to Banggai, a town on a nearby island.

The local administration is planning to organize classes for the children in temporary shelters. (01)
