Anton is an ordinary 12-year-old boy. He works hard at school and listens to his parents. But what makes him special is the resilience he displayed in the face of the tsunami. After the disaster struck, Anton began spending his spare time with the senior citizens and children of his community, helping them cope with the life-changing event. At such an early age, he was already showing the compassion he needs to become a teacher, which is his dream. This report comes to us, courtesy of the Indonesian Embassy in China.
