Residents of the small Christian village 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.
