We would like to, at last, thank some people.
To the many foreign doctors and nurses, who were on holiday here when the Tsunami occurred, who interrupted their holidays immediately and worked in the hospitals until completely exhausted.
To the many volunteers that have worket continuously and assiduously.
To our guests, who immediately offered all their assistance, donated blood and who, without exception, all remained in Thailand to complete their planned holidays.
To all of those abroad who have donated and provided help and assistance; especially those who declared themselves disposed towards sponsorship for orphans, or families whose livelihoods were destroyed.
To the people of the various countries that, by their actions, have shown their solidarity for those suffering here. To the media, who in most instances, have abstained from sensational newsmongering, and have informed neutrally and compassionately.
And especially to the Thai people and Government officials who suffered themselves and have always tried their best to improve the situation as much as possible for victims and their families.
Personally, I would to thank our dive instructors and crew, who in this period have worked on rebilding the dive centre, looking after our guests so that I could be free to attend to my other - more pressing – aid obligations. To all our friends who did endless translations into different languages for me.
We would also like to thank Alasdair Junor, the General Manager of the Evason Phuket Resort for their exceptional generosity and help with the school of Ban Bang Muang (www.sixsenses.com/evason-phuket).
To all of you : A heartfelt thanks. It is greatly appreciated.

A special “thank you” to all the Spammers, who, in spite of our filters, clog our mailboxes. We could not afford to lose one second since the disaster occurred, and many of us are exhausted. I, myself, because of the stress and overload, again have eye infections and my corneas are swollen so that, even with spectacles, I can only read my mails with difficulty.
It is “really helpful” when one gets daily hundreds of unwanted offers for penis enlargements, Viagra or Credits, which are no more than traps.
Spammers : you are the scourge of the Internet!
