The
beach that had once held homes, channels and big boats was
wiped clean by the huge
waves.
100
lives and most of their fishing boats & nets were lost.
We
visited several small villages on Koh Lanta to dis- tribute
food water & clothing to the people who were devis-
tated by the tsunami.
The remains of whats left.
Sowers
plan to help!
We
partnered with Thai
believers from churches in the area to get the aid directly to
people who needed it.
Our
strategy is to help with the nets first. We will pro- vide the
families with new nets and help to repair the boats.
We
will build a community center in the area to use for education
and community activities including bible stud- ies. We will build
the center with the help of a couple of short term groups and
also send in a young Thai Christian couple to live there and do
literacy training for the adults and tutoring for the children.
How
can you help?
We need your help to continue this effort! You can help in two ways.
First we need funding for the nets & boats. We also need people
to go to work with the kids and help build the community center.
