More than two years after a tsunami devastated communities around the Indian Ocean, the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) continues to help build hundreds of houses for tsunami survivors in Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka. In India’s Tamil Nadu state, MCC helped build 450 houses in order to relocate the coastal village of Idinthakarai, which was declared uninhabitable after it was damaged by the tsunami. This was the largest of MCC’s post-tsunami construction projects that have been completed to date. Several more large construction projects were recently completed or are underwayÌ¢‰â‰۝including an additional 287 houses in India, 181 in Sri Lanka and more than three hundred in Indonesia.
