Tsunami 6 months after
At the end of December 2004, Plan joined people from neighbouring communities, local governmental and voluntary organizations, and the international community to respond to the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster. It seems appropriate now both to reflect on what has happened since the tsunami struck, and to look at the work in the months and years ahead. The tsunami was an unprecedented disaster, both in terms of its impact and in the scale of local and international responses. Given this, what has Plan been able to achieve or not achieve over the past six months? How did Plan work with people in their struggle to reclaim their normal lives? What children’s issues were Plan able to address, and what issues remain?
