On boxing day the unimaginable happened - a tremendous tsunami was triggered by the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake which called on many of us already working in the area of international development to rush and help in the international Post-Tsunami reconstruction activities.
UNDP had a number of reconstruction programs and projects and I got involved in the 'UNDP Technical Support to the BRR".
The photos below show the situation in the beach area before and after the multi-donor reconstruction activities (housing).
