Western psychology professor David Sattler and five seniors are working to establish a museum in Thailand to educate survivors and boost tourism. Western students team up with professor to create tsunami exhibit Jenny Leak THE WESTERN FRONT L Dr. David Sattler, disaster researcher and Western professor of psychology, collaborated with five Western psychology students this summer on a museum-in-the-making that, will be located in Thailand. The museum will show survivors of the Dec. 26, 2004 tsunami and tourists visiting Khao Lak everything from how an earthquake triggered the tsunami to the worldwide relief effort of volunteers, organizations and governments. The exhibits will explain the impact the tsunami had on the land and community, how survivors are recovering and the magnitude of aid through pictures, videos and personal written accounts. "We want people who go to the museum to see hope, optimism, resiliency, and the human spirit," said Sattler, who has researched responses to disasters for 15 years. "People from more than 100 countries quickly mobilized to provide immediate assistance to help individuals rebuild their lives and communities." The team of Western students — seniors Kelly Highsmith, Jaime Reeder, Andrea Reinholz, Brittany VanLant and Kate Weinberg — plus the Bellingham restaurant Thai House helped Sattler cultivate his museum proposal with research and connections to contacts in Thailand. Sattler came up with the idea when he visited Thailand in March 2005 and March 2006. Sattler conducted surveys of more than 200 people each year for his research on the mental health of natural disaster survivors. The majority of survivors were fearful of another tsunami coming, Sattler said. The Western team's main goals for the museum are to educate survivors about tsunamis, bolster the Thai economy by attracting tourists who have questions about the. damage, and recovery and to inform the museum's visitors about the new tsunami warning systems being built along the coast by governments from around the world, Sattler said. The missing piece to Sattler's plan was finding a location for the museum. Nimnual Toom, owner of Thai House, met Sattler through Dr. Dale Dinnel, chair of Western's psychology department. Toom's brother Lim Phong lives in Thailand in an area affected by the tsunami. Toom helped Sattler contact her brother, who had a vacant 13-by-39 -foot room next to his restaurant in Khao Lak. "I asked him, 'What if I build a museum and we can accomplish all of these goals?' " Sattler said. "And he said, 'Let's do it.' " The Western team spent last summer in the computer labs on the sweltering top floor of Miller Hall gathering information online about the tsunami, and later researching specific aspects of the museum, said psychology major Brittany VanLant. "This is a very exciting project that I think "We want people who go to the museum to see hope, optimism, resiliency, and the human spirit." - Dr. David Sattler Western psychology professor see MUSEUM page 5 • Dr. David Sattler (right, center), professor of psychology, meets with his research team in Khao Lak, Thailand in March 2005.
