Remembering Sidath
Sidath, a brilliant and fun loving son of a professional Sri Lankan couple became a victim of Tsunami in Sri lanka on December 26th, 2004.
Sidath was just about to have breakfast with his parents when the first wave approached their motel dining room. His father took him out of the room, but both of them were taken away by the second wave. His father survived but Sidath did not. His mother, together with some concerned individuals, started a foundation to help Tsunami affected families in Sri Lanka.
