Abstract

Following the hundred-year, devastating tsunami in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, in 2004 where all was lost along the coast, a leading early childhood educator communicated with graduate students for assistance. Dr. Ratna Megawangi, Executive Director of the Indonesia Heritage Foundation, requested support, and a group of graduate students responded. The process to rebuild two preschools is discussed in this narrative as it describes how the graduate students enacted a transformational, transnational curriculum through a class-selected project.
