Before we went to Sri Lanka, I had very little idea where it was. I had heard of it but didn't think much about it until they were hit by a catastrophic tsunami a few years ago. Even then, if someone asked me where it was on a map, I wouldn't have known exactly where to start looking and unless it was clearly marked in big letters (which isn't usually the case because Sri Lanka is so small).
Shortly after the tsunami hit my nephew, Brandon Gibson, volunteered to go with his church group on a mission trip to Sri Lanka to work in one of the orphanages to help take care of the children left homeless by the tsunami and to try to reunite them with families if they were lucky enough to have family members who were still alive. The group he belongs to is called "Christ in Action" and they are at the scene after most natural disasters to roll up their sleeves and work.
Brandon was a summer intern as a submarine programmer for Lockheed in Virginia while attending the University of Alabama. He continued the position after graduation. (He is still with Lockheed but now he programs the planes that look for enemy submarines, and if I didn't get that right, I'm sorry Brandon. Just know I'm very proud of you.)
When I heard that Brandon had gone to Sri Lanka I remember thinking - "that is such a remote place". I had never met anyone else who had ever been to Sri Lanka and I certainly never considered that I would come here some day. But Bill and I spent today in Sri Lanka. As I looked around today and saw some of the devastation still remaining, I thought about Brandon, and how generous and giving Brandon and Christ in Action were to come here and help these people.
