people in a single day is the most devastating tsunami in modern times, traveled 375 miles (600 km) in a mere 75 min. That’s 300 miles (480 km) per hour, leaving more than 1.7 million homeless affecting 18 countries. I am sure you all remember when we heard this story unfold how shocked we were. All around the world people raised money for the aid and then the rebuilding programme.
We remember here in France being motivated by Gerard Narjoux of Espinas who had a partner from Sri Lanka, so was even more affected by it and campaigned to raise money to build a school. All these efforts went on in around St. Antonin area. So many readers who were here at the time will remember this. We have contacted Gerard to find out ten years on how things have improved and we hope to give that update soon.
