Friends
of Makhampom
Tsunami
Situation
A
message of thanks again from all at Makhampom for the many messages of
concern and support for our welfare. As you are aware, no one was
directly affected, despite a few close and rather fortunate calls,
with Bong and little Lang, and Kate and Pi Daeng just out of harms
way. Richard, however, lost many friends and colleagues in Aceh.
Several Makhampom members did go to help in the post-tsunami searches
and with translation for overseas rescue teams. We should note that
Toby was in
Sri Lanka
at the time of the tsunami and played an active support role there
both through theater and the general searching for survivors. The
current situation in
Thailand
is certainly better than in Aceh and
Sri Lanka
, still struggling with the humanitarian relief task, but the
rebuilding process in the south of
Thailand
, both physical and psychological, will take many years.
