Even 2-year-old Swathi cracked a smile as the waves washed over her. Team member Alicia helped her not to get completely washed away. Swathi and her brother are not tsunami orphans. Their mother was the victim of a stove burning - where the husband pours kerosene on the wife and sets her on fire. The two children lived beneath their mother's hospital cot in the burn unit for weeks until a nurse called us to pick them up. Her 8 year old brother Vijay has acclamated to Miracle Garden well. Swathi still does not smile often and prefers to stay with MD and the older college girls. Please keep these 2 precious kids in your prayers.
