Tsunami victim thanks Arctic fundraisers

Dear Students of the Arctic:

I have tears of joy in my eyes as I just finished reading the article “A Flood of Goodwill” by Jane George on the Nunatsiaq News web site.

I thank you for your love and compassion. The tsunami, at our end, has caused some irreparable damage to both human and natural life. The topography of the islands of all countries affected has changed. There remains a quiet disheartened affect of this natural force, innumerable orphans and further disruption of relations.

A natural calamity has a way of leaving things unanswered.

But nature has its own way of taking its course. And with the support of people like you, we stand up again and begin to rebuild what we can.

I thank you on behalf of all Indians — children and adults, young and old, for opening your young hearts to all of us.

Warmest wishes and deepest regards.
