Fitriah’s testimony: "The water rushed in from 7 km away, coming from two sides and hitting us with a clapping motion. It was devastating. I was in the volleyball court at the time. I have no idea how I survived. It was like a dream. I dont know how long I was under water. I was holding on to my daughters T-shirt.

Taken to illustrate reconstruction work and projects of CRS (Catholic Relief Services) of USA who sponsored the photo tour. The lab terchnician explains: \"Every house well gets tested. UNICEF originally helped set up the lab to support other NGOs in the area, and now CRS helps pay staff salaries and provides us with equipment. The lab coordinates its activities with the local government. The water in local wells is quite contaminated, especially with Arsenic, as well as Nitrates, Nitrites, Iron, Manganese and Fluoride. The water became salinated after the Tsunami. We test here both the water from shallow and deep wells.\"")
