Layeum - Sumatra - 2011

Mus, our local guide in Banda Aceh, was heavily involved with an aid organisation - Network for Tsunami Aceh (NTA).
The NTA's aim is to aid affected children of the tsunami to develop skills in English, computers and tourism.
We were taken about 30km out of Banda Aceh to Layeum, where NTA has established a learning centre.




These beautiful teenage girls, in traditonal costumes, are performing the welcome dance for us.











Their learning centre was located on a headland which had stunning views.




The dancers loved my "brag books".






















The farewell dance.
























We went to a nearby beach to watch the sunset.
The end of a great day in Banda Aceh.
