Whole family wiped out

I was driving from Lampbisang Village after entertaining the children in
our child care program. I saw some youths walking and asked them, "Where are
you going". They replied, "We are looking for a job". I decided to give them
a lift to their village. One of the boys told me as we were nearing one
destroyed clump of wood, "This was my house. To escape from the waves, I
climbed up that tree and I could see everything. I saw all my family washed
away, my house washed away, and even my cows. I remained in the tree for 5
hour until the waves subsided." I heard from him that all 9 family members
died in the tsunami and he was staying with a few relatives in the camp
settlement of Lampbisang near his village.
