Tsunami victims to fly to Thailand

BANDA ACEH, Aceh: Seven teenagers from tsunami-struck Aceh are
to leave for Phuket in Thailand to meet other children from five
countries who are also victims of natural disasters.

"Unicef is sponsoring their trip from Aceh to Thailand next
week," said UNICEF spokesperson Lely Jauhari on Wednesday.

Lely said the seven Acehnese children would attend a
discussion with other children. The gathering is scheduled to
take place on Monday.

"They will present their views in the reconstruction and
rehabilitation process in the post-disaster area and how to
handle things when their areas are struck by a disaster.

"They will also hold a discussion about exploitation and child
abuse in disaster-wrecked areas," Lely said. -- Antara
