Because of the disaster, a longstanding civil conflict in Indonesia was settled

We brought new opportunities to grow and sell coffee to them together

But in every disaster as you remember from Katrina and as we now see in Haiti where I'm working, the housing is always the hardest thing to fix
但是每次灾难过后 正如卡特里娜飓风过后 我现在工作的海地也面临着同样的问题 房屋问题最难得到解决
So there was one tent city with forty thousand people in Indonesia and in Aceh where people were sweltering, miserable in these hot tents

And as an UN coordinator, I had to go visit and let them unload on me cause we were six months late and get them out of there
作为联合国协调员 我要去参观访问 倾听民众苦水 因为我们晚来了六个月 还要把他们安置好
And I showed up and the president of the camp was there
我到的时候营地的主席也在那边
They had elected a president

And he introduced me to his wife, and to his son a tenyearold boy that I still believe to this day is the single most beautiful child I have ever seen

His eyes were luminous

And I had a young Indonesia woman working as my interpreter
还有一位年轻的印度尼西亚女子作为我的翻译
So when I started the tour with the father, the president of the camp, the mother and the son went off and
我开始跟着那位父亲 那个营地的主席 四处参观的时候 妈妈和孩子没有跟来
I said I believe that is the most beautiful boy I ever saw in my life

And she said to me, Yes, he's very handsome

Before the tsunami, he had nine brothers and sisters, they are all gone, every last one
