UNICEF Correspondent Steve Nettleton reports on art programmes that help children cope with trauma left by the tsunami.
You are watching UNICEF Television.
00:00:00
A group of teenagers gather to express themselves through drawing.
00:00:03
They were all affected by the tsunami,
00:00:07
but today they are most concerned about the dangers of drugs.
00:00:10
Sixteen-year-old Nora Sophie adds color to her sign warning against drug use.
00:00:14
She comes here regularly under the guidance of a local artist.
00:00:20
This is the latest in a series of art and theater workshops
00:00:25
for young people in Kota Kuala Muda and the island of Langkawi,
00:00:28
the hardest-hit areas of the Malaysian coast.
00:00:32
The meetings were originally conceived by UNICEF
00:00:36
and its partner organization, Empower,
00:00:39
as a place for youth to learn to open up and deal with the impact of the tsunami.
00:00:41
UNICEF and Empower also set up youth leadership camps
00:00:47
to build confidence and motivation.
00:00:50
Two years later, many teenagers say the tsunami has become less and less relevant,
00:00:53
so the activities now focus on more pressing issues
00:00:59
such as HIV and AIDS, sexuality and violence.
00:01:02
We realize that if we keep dwelling on the trauma and all this,
00:01:07
there's not going to be an avenue for them to move on.
00:01:11
And in a lot of our activities, we not only look at this whole art therapy aspect,
00:01:14
we actually incorporated sessions where these young people could speak up,
00:01:18
so they could actually identify what are the issues that concern their lives.
00:01:22
Sophie has been an active member of the leadership camps and art workshops.
00:01:27
She tries to help her family recover emotionally and financially from the tsunami.
00:01:32
After school, she works at the small restaurant her parents have opened
00:01:38
to replace the seaside snack bar that was destroyed two years ago.
00:01:42
She says she finds inspiration and comfort in taking part in the art sessions.
00:01:47
I enjoy these workshops because when I come,
00:01:53
I get an opportunity to express what I'm feeling inside my heart,
00:01:56
and I feel lighter by being able to express the problems I have through art.
00:01:59
With pencils and crayons, young tsunami survivors in Malaysia are leaving the past behind
00:02:05
and tackling issues they see as a grave threat to the rest of their lives.
00:02:11
In Langkawi, Malaysia, this is Steve Nettleton reporting for UNICEF Television.
00:02:16
Unite for Children.
