IGSSS' Response to the Tsunami

People to People Bond Across the Seas

On GAA's request, the people of the City of Bonn, Germany have come forward to take over partnership and patronage of the disaster mitigation and rehabilitation efforts of IGSSS and GAA. Relief operations now give way to the monumental task of the rebuilding of lives and livelihood of the Tsunami survivors.

GAA and Bonn's Administration have committed to take care and contribute to the rehabilitation efforts, especially concerning housing, village infrastructure, water supply, sanitation and livelihood. To start with, four villages - Sonangkuppam, Singarathopu, Indranagar and Chinnavaikal (in the district of Cuddalore) have been identified.


The Road Ahead

The process of rehabilitation is a long term one - not just because of the need to build physical structures, but also lives. A survivor's physical, emotional and mental make up needs to be restructured… rebuilt. This is something that will take time. At IGSSS we understand the enormity of this effort and are committed to make it a success. However, we need your help too.

Help us help the survivors of the Tsunami to regain their confidence in life and to build a better future….
