While on
Hulhumale we visited an encampment of tsunami survivors. They are currently living in tin shacks while they are waiting for the government to build their new homes. There is no transportation except the school bus. One
family of thirteen
lives in one such two room shack, with no air-conditioning and no running water. There is a tank in one corner of the encampment; it collects rain that is to be used as drinking water.
Despite their situation they invited us into their dwelling for a cold drink of soda. The government says that their new home, on a safe island, will be ready within the year. But the
family after four years on
Hulhumale has made a life there and wants to get a larger apartment on that island.
