IN a little shack they built on a rubble-strewn field where the tsunami travelled the farthest inland, a group of teenaged boys orphaned in the disaster have made themselves a family. 

They have been cooking and caring for each other, playing football and singing sad songs at night since the Dec 26 tsunami wiped out much of the fishing village of Lampuuk in the Indonesian province of Aceh.
