The Tsunami of 2004

Two years ago today, the giant Indian Ocean Tsunami struck and claimed over a quarter million lives. Somewhere a mother lives who cannot forget the horror of the raging sea and the moment when a little hand slipped out of her grip, never to be united again.

 

A year ago, I came across this evocative Tsunami memorial in Kanyakumari, a town at the southernmost tip of India. Over a thousand people died here. I put this up today as my own little memorial for a great humanitarian disaster.
