1 From the horror of the cataclysm in and around the Indian Ocean, one great truth emerges: that, when the chips are down, man still cares for man, regardless of his creed and colour. What though of the future, after the media spotlight has moved on? In May 1946, Einstein warned that "the unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe". Today reports that the energy released by the Boxing Day earthquake would have been equivalent to more than 190 million tons of TNT, that Sumatra is thought to have moved by as much as 120ft, and the Earth to have shifted on its axis. Surely these prodigious events should cause us to examine our way of thinking every bit as deeply. This catastrophe must not be allowed to be a nine, or even a ninety-day wonder. Not only should the plight of the millions made homeless and of local economies destroyed be kept in mind until normality is restored, but nations, particularly the richer ones, should keep in mind in fair times as well as in foul the mutual responsibilities attached to the brother-hood of man. What greater reminder could we have been given of the fragility of the planet which is home to all of us.

2 Tsunami Help - why,how, when & where ? We all are aware of the havoc created by Tsunami in coastal regions of South Asia spilling over to southern and Island states of our country. Thousands of families have been disaster struck, many swept away by tidal waves and untraceable, the survivors battling for life and survival while being completely awestricken and completely defenseless. While we can not replace what they have lost but we can certainly make our small human endeavor by attending to their most urgent and pressing immediate need and contribute our might to collectively help bring down the miseries. We are interested in finding some credible inviduals/organisation(s) with whom we could partner with whom possibilities could be explored for long term rehabilitation of orphan children/effected commmunities. The need to coordinate efforts is the most important FACTOR. Thats why we are planning to organise a get together of all the volunteers at different dates and different locations in INDIA, SRI LANKA, THAILAND and INDONESIA.The proposed get togethers at a location will help in proper coordination and formation of teams to implement rescue n recovery operations startegically. All volunteers and co-operative people and organizations are warmly welcome to join us.

13 TRAUMA OF TSUNAMI I am Dayananda Nanayakkara 49 years of age a father of 02 children. I am a fisherman by profession. I spent my life time in the Southern costal belt in Sri Lanka very close to “Seenigama Devalaya” a well known sacred place. The sea was blessing for our lives. Our livelihood had been depending on the sea. Until the Tsunami Tidal waves reached and destroyed our area, we loved to the sea. I also underwent to the trauma of this disaster in different ways. I lost everything by Tsunami. Those tidal waves washed away not only my home and belongings but also my fishing boat. It had been broken into two. It was only livelihood for my whole family. When the Tidal waves reached to the shore I was traveling to the Sunday fair with my wife. Luckily both of us survived our life struggling with waves but we were severely injured. But my father was died and the death body also not found. Today I am desperate life with my two sons & wife in a very small tent with very very limited facilities. Today we have nothing and nothing to do, because my only livelihood had been destroyed by Tsunami. So my younger son still is studying, I have to face very big financial difficulties spending for his higher studies. Although my elder son is doing small job, it is not enough for others. Hence, we are belonging to proposed buffer zone (100 m), we have still not been received any relief from the Government or any Non- governmental organizations. Although I am willing to start my livelihood, I have no proper background. I have no money to purchase a boat and accessories for it. Until today I have not been facilitated to start our livelihood from the government as promised. I believe anyone who read this episode can understand my present situation. Those wish to help me to regain my life & my family, I would be much grateful to him / her. Dayananda. Please contact me on undermentioned address. Dayananda Nanayakkara, “Dilan”, Galle Road, Werellana, Hikkaduwa- Sri Lanka.
