Product Description
Book Description
On 26th December 2004 a massive tsunami struck Khao Lak in Thailand as well as Indonesia, Sri-Lanka, the Maldives, Malaysia, India and many other coastal and island countries around the Indian Ocean. The Tsunami washed away people’s lives, their hopes and dreams.
This book is about how the children (many of whom were orphaned by the Tsunami) coped with their loss. It is a beautiful and sometimes heart wrenching collection of stories, poems, and pictures by the children of Khao Lak, illustrating how they are dealing with their loss and grief. It is also a story of hope, humanity and triumph over despair.
The material for the book was compiled by the students of Bangkok Patana School, the British International School in Thailand.
All profits from this book go directly to the education of the children of Khao Lak – the "Children of the Tsunami".

Great book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of the Tsunami: Khao Lak - A Story of Hope (Hardcover)
This is a great book, and it is even greater when you find out that the whole thing was by students and all the work that they are doing for students. I find people should buy this book as it is a great book to have at home when recieving guests, and the stories are fascinating as well, just as the cover says, it's a story of hope.

Touchingly beautiful.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of the Tsunami: Khao Lak - A Story of Hope (Hardcover)
An outstanding book. The photographs were breathtaking and the stories touchingly honest and real. Unbelievable to think this book project has been undertaken by children for children.
