I am very touched to see your interest in helping us out in bad time. Yes we have been badly hit by this tidal wave and by God's grace my husband and myself were saved. We did not know about this catastrophe and were headed to the east coast road. It was there that we learnt of this ferocious tidal wave that has taken away so many lives. Innocent children and old aged people, were carried away. Here the fisherman's community is the most affected as they are staying in little makeshift huts close to the beach. They have been carried away in their sleep. Its really so sad and there were so many poor village people on the road, homeless and without basic necessities. I send you a mail from one of our employees, imploring those who are interested to help to contact the following numbers.

Thanks once again for your concern.
