Its already been more than five years since the tsunami hit Thailand on that fateful morning of December 26th 2004.

The tsunami struck with no warning and was unforgiving in its ferocity shocking the world so much by its devastating effect that nations from all over the world quickly mobilised aid and help to the affected areas. Now four years on, the majority of that immediate aid has now ceased or is due to end shortly and whilst many projects continue onward there will be many that without funding proceed to collapse leaving the people that they support homeless and hungry.

The tsunami had more than an immediate effect. Whilst the loss of lives on an unimaginable scale wrecked families, there was also a more long lasting effect as the homes and livelihoods of the people were also wiped out. Many of the people living near the coast were fishermen who not only lost their families and homes but also lost their fishing boats, leaving them in despair.

Children who lost their parents turned to orphanages for help, these orphanages whether state run or funded charitable organisations as well as being run by trained staff are also staffed by locals who themselves have lost children or family members to the tsunami.The tsunami was more than one day of carnage, its effects are long lasting and as such will need help and funding for many years to come until such a time that the infrastructure of the economy has been stabilised, families have been re-established and communities have been rebuilt.

To this end we are hoping that through this website we can raise enough funding to make a difference to the children of the orphanage in Khao Lak, Thailand.
