She was was sitting away from her family members because she helps out with the service. Sisters Shrianna and Brianna Barthelot, 11 and 13, lost both parents and their older brother in the tsunami. They are now living with relatives at night and spending most of their days at the convent where the rest of their village is staying. Residents of the small Christian village Dutch Bar spent more than six weeks in a makeshift refugee camp at the local convent recovering from the devastating tsunami that hit the eastern and southern borders of Sri Lanka. They were then moved into another temporary living camp, while awaiting the building of new homes. More than 150 members in this community of less than 1000 people died in the tragic event.
