About the Book
On Boxing Day 2004 Mike and Jacqui were enjoying a holiday on the island of Sri Lanka when it was struck by the most devastating tsunami in history. Hundreds of thousands lost their lives.

Those who survived, had their lives changed for ever. This is the story of the changes that it made to Mike and Jackie and the small difference they tried to make for others.

Covering an 18 month period following the tsunami, this book covers the work of the authors and hundreds of international volunteers. It recognises the invaluable contribution of the Tsunami Volunteer Centre to the recovery of the communities in the Khao Lak area of South Thailand. It is a record of the indomitable spirit of the remakable people of this wonderful land.

Having been caught up in the Asian tsunami of 2004, the next two years holidays were spent working as volunteers for a month at a time, back in Thailand.
