The tsunami of December 26 2004 left a trail of death and destruction along the TamilNadu coast in south India. More than 7000 persons perished in and around the turn of Nagapattinam .Tens of thousands were left homeless and the elderly and destitute in particular lived in pathetic conditions pending for themselves. Most tragically, hundreds of innocent children were orphaned, many of them losing both parents in the tragedy. |
| Rotary Club of Madras Central (RCMC) immediately joined the world wide planning and rehabilitation efforts. A spontaneous and magnanimous donation of US$ 25000 form rotary clubs in Sydney Australia provided the impetus. | |
 |
The collector of Nagapattinam District outlined a vision which was a challenge and an opportunity to help those in desperate need. The challenge was accepted and a complex comprising of a residential building to house 200 orphaned children, a primary school for the tsunami effected children along with a senior citizens’ home. |
