A THANK YOU NOTE

There is a huge amount of gratitude and recognition of the generous support received from contributors who have helped to finance this project, sometimes with funds collected from friends and colleagues and other people of good will.

We also greatly appreciate the professional and quick response and all of the help from Thai Army, Thai Marine Department, the volunteers from Korea and the Tsunami Volunteer Center in Khao Lak, Thailand. It has been a pleasure to work along side of people with such generosity of spirit.

This project has given us a rich experience of human connection. Despite all the destruction, death, despair, and sadness, we have also been here to witness the re-awakening of elements of the human spirit. There is so much loss and so much rebuilding of all kinds to do. But this project is a start... a spark of rebirth in a decimated corner of S.E. Asia.
