for immediate and reconstruction aid in Thailand and Indonesia. As
part of the reconstruction aid efforts, a fully furnished
orphanage, which will be operated by the Indonesian Rahmania
Foundation, has been built in Lhoksumawe, Indonesia, providing a
home for 64 children. The children will be trained in practical

the orphanage. Furthermore a scholarship program for these children
has been set up. On the Thai island Kho Khao, the local health
center, "Ban Nok Na", has been rebuilt with Schering's support. It
will provide primary medical healthcare for the local population.
