A great tragedy struck nine Asian countries including parts of South India and the Andamas and Nicobar Islands east of mainland India, owing to the Killer Tsunami wave generated by one of the world’s biggest earthquake on December 26, 2004 that obliterated seaside towns and killed more than 1,70,000 people.

 

The Andamans and Nicobar Islands – the far-off conglomerate of tiny and some large islands were the most affected being closest to the epicenter. Countless people including our Pilar Fathers working in these remote missions were trapped on these Islands. Thousands of lives have been lost and houses, property totally ravaged and destroyed.

Over a year after the disaster thousands are still homeless and helpless.

 

Our appeal to you friends to reach out and help us provide to the rebuilding of the lives of these people  - our poor brothers and sisters.
