Girl traces her family after 2004 tsunami
Fifteen-year-old Wati showed up at a cafe in Meulaboh, a town in Aceh province, Indonesia, earlier this week saying that not long after the wave hit she was found and “adopted” by a woman who forced her to beg in the streets, sometimes until 1am.
When she stopped bringing in money, Wati was kicked out by the woman. She then set out to find her family, but had very little information to guide her — only the name of her grandfather, Ibrahim.
