It feels like a miracle that a grade 3 elementary school kid is able to survive after the tzunamy waves are rolled.

During the tsunami wave, Martunis with her mother & two siblings drove a neighbor's pickup truck.
But the car sank and was dragged by the tsunami waves which made him separated from his family.
Martunis survived after reaching for a floating piece of wood then climbing a tree to survive.
He survived after being dragged by a tsunami that returned to the sea & was stranded in a swampy area near the tomb of Teungku Syiah Kuala.
After 21 days of survival, residents discovered Martunis on January 15, 2005.
Locals turned themselves in to British television crews who happened to be covering the area at that time.
In an instant, the face of Martunis who was still wearing a Portugal national team shirt was wide & viral.

The boy then attracted the sympathy of Portuguese soccer players, including Luis Figo, Nuno Gomes, Cristiano Ronaldo, coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, and Gilberto Madail, chairman of the Portuguese Football Federation.

☆ Lessons from Cristiano Ronaldo:
Culture of Thanking & Appreciation for Friends Services
When it was May 24 2014,
Shortly after Real Madrid won the 10th UEFA Champions League trophy in 2014, TV viewers & thousands of football fans at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon were shocked when Cristiano Ronaldo left his team victory celebration & ran to the seats of the audience to pull a filthy man from the crowd & hug him with all my heart.
Both of them wept in tears
The action was a tribute to Ronaldo to his childhood club friends who 'sacrificed themselves' & let the Portuguese star become an icon of the world he is today.
Ronaldo said in an interview, that as a child, he and his friends competed for a place at Andorinha Academy in Funchal, Madeira.
"I have to thank my old friend Albert Fantrau for my success.
We played together for the same team in the U-18 championship.
When the talent scouts came to see us he said that "Whoever scores the most goals will come to our academy"
"We won the match 3-0.
I scored the first goal then Albert scored the second goal with a header.
But the third goal is a free kick offense.
Albert is the kick executor who is very close to the goalkeeper.
"All he had to do at that time was to score a goal, so that he got the golden opportunity, but he deliberately passed it and gave me the chance to pass the ball & I scored the third goal, so I got that place & went to the academy.
"After the match I went to him and asked why?
Albert said that "Because you (Ronaldo) are better than me"
The reporter then went to Albert's house to confirm & ask if it was a true story.
He Frantau said 'Yes'.
He also said that his career as a player after the match ended
& now he is unemployed.
"But how do you build this house so big, you also have a good car?
You look like a rich person.
You can also support your family properly. Where did this come from? "
Albert is more proud to answer: "This is from Ronaldo!"
This explains why Ronaldo came out of the crowd to share happiness in celebration of victory with a friend who had sacrificed for him. http://travel.tribunnews.com/2017/12/26/tsunami-aceh-21-hari-terombang-ambing-di-laut-begini-kabar-martunis-anak-angkat-cristiano-ronaldo?page=3 #HumanityBeyondBorder ♡
