Tsunami Relief work report of Alternative for India Development

Alternative for India Development (AID), Chennai, Tamilnadu swung into immediate action for relief work, on 27^th of December, the next day of tsunami strike in Tamilnadu, India. Tragically, few of the relatives of AID staff were also killed in the tsunami strike. After seeing the gravity and scale of the devastation, AID plunged into direct action. Amidst, sorrow and grief, after seeing the tragedy and scenes of destruction and devastation in the coastal areas of Tamilnadu, including Chennai, the Capital of Tamilnadu State, India; AID pumped up its energy and resources for relief work. Since AID is being based in Chennai, with two decades of experience, it has strongly positioned to do the work spontaneously. Added to it, being close to the vicinity of the coastal area and its deeper understanding of the logistical features of Taminadu, it is an advantage for rendering the relief work. Further, being integral part of the social, cultural and linguistic traditional ethos of Tamilnadu, with necessary physical infrastructure at the disposal of the organisation, it was made easy for doing the work.
