Breaking News - Its happening now! -........Alison, at the front line in Peralyia
Alison’s diary September 5th Fire!!!!!!! Last night the monsoon rains and winds surged through the village and cut all the power in the area. A can of petrol exploded in one of the temporary shelter homes (which were built for the tsunami affected 100 meter people.) The fire raged out of control through the village destroying 30 homes.

Life can be so incredibly unfair
Tsunami Family in Galle
I visited this family in Galle. They virtually lost the whole of their house. They have just two rooms that they can live in. Most of the time they are still living in tents, 8 months after the Tsunami. We were able to help a great deal as this family are very poor. We provided them with a cooker, 2 gas bottles, 6 childrens chairs and two childrens tables, 4 adult chairs and a table. We also gave them some cooking utencils etc. Click on the link above to see the rest of the photos.
