  The initial objective of this 2004 tsunami disaster site was to provide information on aid and relief efforts to which we experienced great success through the help of volunteers and the media. We have since shifted the site's focus to cover the post-tsunami aspect of the disaster as many of these tsunami affected countries are great holiday destinations where revenue from tourism and shopping are just as vital to their full recovery.

Info - Volunteer Vacation
Don't know what to do for the approaching summer or spring break?

Why not travel to an exotic holiday destination to have a taste of tropical paradise and at the same time lend a hand to help the tsunami victims in Phuket, Krabi and Khao Lak,Thailand.

Alternatively, you could also head to Sri Lanka to help rebuild homes for families of poor fishermen.

Generosity, compassion, and kindness are all food for the soul. Be a part of the global humanitarian effort. As one volunteer in Thailand expressed, “I came to realize that the victims, both the ones who died and the ones who survived the tsunami, are the same as those who have come to help them. For they would do the same for us had things turned out just a little bit differently.”

  • "I have been just married for a week and been spending our honeymoon in Bentota, Sri Lanka. Sharon (my wife) went down to the beach this morning to sunbathe and I have not seen her since. All I saw was a big wall of water coming down on the place where her sun bed was. She was probably fast asleep. I'm absolutely devastated." - British resident Ben Chod
  • "If the body is in a condition to be moved, we put it into the mass burial pit and if it's too decomposed, we pour diesel over it and burn it with debris from thatched huts. Usually the pyres have 20 to 30 bodies at one go." - South Indian resident Subash
