Earthquake Triggers Destruction Across East Asia.

This is so close to home. What's one to do or understand?

The province of Aceh lies at the northern tip of the island of Sumatra. I don't know much about its history but I know the Acehnese were among the strongest anti-colonial fighters. (Against the Dutch) Aceh was incorporated into the Republic of Indonesia upon independence in 1949, and resistance to Jakarta's rule started almost immediately. For the past few months Aceh has seen a tumultuous state of affairs. And now this.. god.. and now this..

Please god help my brethren in their darkest hours. Help Aceh and its children find their smiles.
