Summary:
Indonesia has experience in dealing with disaster. It's been more than three years since a tsunami swept away entire coastal communities in Aceh, Indonesia. Most survivors have been provided with homes, running water, schools and hospitals, and many international aid agencies are starting to end their tsunami relief programs. But rebuilding a community requires more than just physical infrastructure. The very essence of society -- its people, culture and traditions -- have to be revived. That's not an easy task in villages that lost a lot of their women and children. Orlando de Guzman reports.
