  2. Keelhapudhupalli is a coastal village affected by Tsunami. The waves entered the farm lands and waterponds and rendered the lands incultivable. This has affected the livelihoods of the farmers in this village. A community kitchen and community shelter has been constructed for the affected people. Mr. Muthumari “ Our future was so uncertain and we did not know what to do. Then the team from DHAN came and have provided us immediate relief. Now they have created employment oppurtunity for us – by clearing the drainage channels, removing the saltwater in our farm ponds etc., and it is going on well. This has created hope within us to get our livelihood restored’.25 Jan 2005 Nagapattinam District (Keelapudupalli Village): Food being given to affected people

  3. Sakthivel a young farmer in Keelapudupalli village. The sea came in nearly two kilometres inland. Still I don’t how how I how I got an escape from the Killer Tsunami. On that day I was sitting near the sea shore. The big waves came with a menancing force and speed. Immediately I ran very fast and fell down. I don’t know what happened then. Fortunately I am alive now. Now though the sea waves are not rough I still fear the tsunami. The sea water also spoiled our Drowpathi Amman Koil Tank. This tank was very useful for bathing and washing. Now tank water is spoiled completely and no more useful to us. Now we walk 2 kms every day to take bath.
