A Pleasant Stroll

Two girls walk through the streets of Suak Bidok, a village completely rebuilt by CRS following the 2004 tsunami. At the fourth anniversary of the December 24, 2004 tsunami, CRS continues to help the people of Indonesia recover and regain a sense of community.

CRS has built 3,853 homes for tsunami survivors in Indonesia’s Aceh Province, providing safe, well-built housing for  over 19,000 people. In addition, CRS built nearly 60  kilometers of new roads, like the one pictured here. The outpouring of compassion from donors all over the United States is what made these efforts possible.  Photo by David Snyder for CRS
