In this photo provided by Grace Home Orphanage, Eric Parkinson, a lawyer from San Luis Obispo, Calif., and a founder of the Grace Home orphanage on the northeastern coast of Sri Lanka, is seen here July 30, 2004, with residents of the orphanage near Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. Living in the bungalows on the 7-acre, beach side complex, which was formerly a five-star hotel, may have saved them from the tsunami that thrashed much of southern Asia. The orphanage was swamped - beds, mattresses and clothes were washed out to sea. But the children there escaped when they were evacuated.
Praise the Lord, all the children in that orphanage were saved!
