Dec 26th Tsunami Memorial Day

4 years ago to the day... i was among the many who was listening to the news of the devastation that took many a life on this beach in the morning hours of the day. All the sunbathers and holiday makers were caught unawares when a Tsunami hit this beach and destroyed lives and property. I was just too stunned at the time witnessing on television the rising death toll which caught everyone by surprise. 4 years on, i am standing on the same beach that took the brunt of natures' fury.

Students are digging the beach sand and building a memorial to those that they lost 4 years ago.

Students from different schools were allocated sections of the beach to create their own memorial.

Even this little fella was busy digging holes in the beach for the lighting of candles.
