Abstract

The article presents information about three young Sri Lankans affected by the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004. More than a year has passed since the tsunami in South East Asia took the lives of 200,000 people. Slowly, families are trying to put their lives back together, but without homes the process is difficult. One of them said that her family and she woke up early like any other day but there was no running water at home. So she went to her grand-mother's house. She was heading back home at around 9 o'clock when she heard a huge sound, like rocks smashing each other.
