Academic exercises will be put aside for the time being, and replaced by fun-filled games to help their recovery from the trauma of the tsunami a week ago.

Ciamis Regent Engkon Komasa has called upon 120 teachers in five affected districts to return to their classrooms, where they will be assisted by volunteers and psychologists from several universities in providing the students with entertaining games.

"In the first week, teaching will not be held according to schedule. The teachers are requested to assist the students in their recovery," he told journalists on Sunday.

The regency administration has promised to provide students with uniforms and school supplies.
