HBO movie and Saine

I stayed up late last night to watch the first part of the HBO Tsunami movie. It was moving, but perhaps a little sterile even for what I saw months later. I don't know how you could ever show the devastation as it really was. They went pretty far, but I don't think that it would have been possible to go that far. That said, it was deeply engaging.

All of this has me thinking of Saine, the little girl in Krabi that I just fell in love with. I think about her all the time and wonder how she is. If anyone from HiPhiPhi or Phi Phi island in general reads this and has an update, please let me know. I have her picture on my desk at work, the one of us together, and often wonder if it would be possible to adopt her.

If anyone reads this and knows how to get in touch with Jan at the bookstore on Phi Phi island, or with Saine's caregivers, please-please-please drop me an e-mail. Thank you!
