These stories are written by children, they tell their accounts of the day, they give us an insight into their fears, worries, and losses, but they also speak on a positive note about their joys of Phi Phi life, their school, their friends and family. All of the stories are accompanied by a drawing. These drawings tell a story in themselves, the child's innermost thoughts, expressed with crayon.

UN Office of the Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery http://www.tsunamispecialenvoy.org/focus.asp Speaking on behalf of the UN agencies involved in ongoing recovery efforts, former U.S. President Bill Clinton said that while the immediate relief effort had been extraordinary the magnitude of the job ahead remained daunting. "The tragedy brought the world closer together," said former US President Bill Clinton, who is the UN Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery. "For a period of time, everyone focused on saving lives without regard to nationality, politics or anything else. But while the immediate relief effort was unprecedented in its scope, we cannot underestimate the enormity of the job that remains."
