Where Have All the Children Gone? ...to Krabi.

On December 26, 2004, the children were not in school on Phi Phi Island. A blessing, as the school was destroyed in the first pulse of the waves from the tsunami. Many of the people of Phi Phi were displaced by the loss of their homes and businesses in the tsunami. Their new place to call home became a refugee camp in Krabi, Thailand.

So that the children have something to come back to (as well as for the children of the shop owners and residents who were able to remain on Phi Phi) this spin-around and a swing set were purchased from donations. For now, they mostly sit idle...awaiting the return of the children.

* Half of the profit will be donated to assist with ongoing tsunami relief efforts in Thailand.

The profit will be determined by taking the overall proceeds from the sales and subtracting the expenses for film processing and framing the images for the shows. The funds will be provided to specific individuals I met on my trip (not organizations) who are still in the Thailand area helping with recovery projects. The individuals receiving the funds are charged with finding locals in need of the funds and dispensing them accordingly for relief projects. [For example, contributions I personally provided to one of these individuals went to paying for school tuition for the daughter of one of the shopkeepers whose store was destroyed in the tsunami. Other such private donations have bought engines for fishing boats, books to replace those lost in the tsunami, etc. My personal experience while in Thailand was the funds being doled out by volunteers who had direct exposure to individuals, in the communities hardest hit by the tsumani, were those funds being best allocated. The volunteers would accompany the tsunami survivor to pay the school fees to the school directly or to buy the engine directly instead of money being handed out.]
