Tsunami Relief
|
**** International Holistic Festival in Thailand
****As part of Joy
International's continuing commitment, we are pleased to
invite you to be part of an historic event in Thailand
Feb 11 to Mar 3 benefiting tsunami survivors and you.
The work in Indonesia continues. The
rebuilding of homes, roads and businesses could take
years. The damage is beyond description. Almost everyone
in the Aceh region has lost family, friends or homes.
Lives are also beginning to rebuild as the shock wears
off and life goes on. |

family home in Banda Aceh where his parents, brothers and
sisters were lost.
The 9.1 earthquake took many lives eleven
minutes before the 32 foot high wave
crashed onto the shore.

In addition to losing family, friends, homes
and possessions, the Thai people are now facing a severe
economic crisis as a result of lost tourism, which is
their number one industry. Please note that
the areas affected represent less than 1% of the
tourist areas.
In spite of erroneous media, there is no
threat of disease and accommodations are heavily
discounted. Spending vacation money in Thailand,
Indonesia and Sri Lanka may be an excellent way to help
the relief effort. You will also see some of the most
spectacular scenery on the planet for very little money.
For example, some luxury hotels in Thailand are less
than $20 now. The Thai people are also famous for their
hospitality, good humor and great food. Spread the word

| Pictures cannot effectively
relate the extent of the damage. However, these pictures
give some idea of the force of the waves because
buildings even a mile from the shore were leveled.

relief effort focusing on Southeast Asia where the death toll is exceeding
280,000 people. Joy Center volunteers worked on
emergency teams after hurricanes as well as the August, 1999
earthquake in Turkey which took 17,000 lives. Please revisit
this site often as there may be new photos of the relief effort. |
