Couleur Locale - After the Tsunami

The local news paper "Desenberg-Bote" reports that one of the local banks in Warburg, the "Sparkasse Höxter", will be hosting an exhibition of drawings, made by children from the Sri Lankan village Hikkaduwa. The children were given the opportunity to tell their own story about the Tsunami, that struck Sri Lanka at the end of 2004, in the form of drawings and paintings. The drawings form the basis of the book "Das Wasser kam himmelhoch daher".
The exhibition is the initiative of the foundation "Hikkaduwa-Hilfe", an organisation that was set up in April 2005 by people from Warburg, with the goal to help the families in the costal village in Sri Lanka.

A nice initiative, I feel. And a good reason to pay a visit to the bank again.
