7 of 7

"One Year After the Tsunami Maridiah is Still Living in a Tent" When the Tsunami came, Maridiah escaped drowning to death by climbing on to the boat that came floating by the house where she were standing in water to her neck on the second floor. When the water came down the boat settled on top of the house and Maridiah and 53 other survivors could leave the boat alive. Maridia lost her husband and 3 year old son to the tsunami. Today she lives in a tent that she shares with 6 other survivors. Just next to the boat which saved her life. Maridiah believes that it was the will of God that let her and the others survive.
