UN gives wedding present to newlyweds

JAKARTA: The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) delivered a tent to a young couple who were married on Sunday in a camp for displaced persons in Banda Aceh.

A tent, blankets, plastic mats and other items were presented by UNHCR employees, who tracked down the couple down after their story was printed by The Jakarta Post on Monday.

Syamsu, 23, and Karmilawati, 21, met a little over two months ago at a camp for internally displaced persons in Mata Ie, Banda Aceh, where they have both lived since their homes were destroyed by the tsunami. -- JP
