    Media Release Embargoed until 26 December 2014 BOXING DAY TSUNAMI 10TH ANNIVERSARY: MESSAGE OF THANKS FROM TSUNAMI SURVIVORS TO BE DELIVERED AT BOXING DAY TEST As the world marks 10 years since the devastating Boxing Day tsunami, international aid organisation CARE Australia is joining forces with Cricket Cares to say thanks to Australians for responding to one of the biggest natural disasters in history. The Thanks for Caring Australia campaign, which is supported by Australian Cricket Captain Michael Clarke, kicks off during the afternoon tea break at the Commonwealth Bank Boxing Day Test. As part of the campaign, hundreds of volunteers will deliver a special message of thanks from tsunami survivors that CARE helped with Australia’s support. People not at the MCG will be able to see the message at www.care.org.au/thanks and share it with the hashtag #thanksforcaring. Australians responded with outstanding generosity to the Boxing Day tsunami, donating more per person than anywhere else in the world. CARE Australia raised more than $42 million from Australians to support its Tsunami Response Program, which helped more than 1.3 million people across five countries – India, Indonesia (Aceh), Somalia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. From 2004 to 2011, CARE delivered food, water, healthcare, temporary shelter, rebuilt homes, water wells, toilets, schools and health centres, and helped families restart small businesses and rebuild their lives. Governor‐General and Patron of CARE Australia, Sir Peter Cosgrove said the 10 year anniversary of the Boxing Day tsunami was an important moment to recognise how Australians came together at a time of extraordinary need for our region.
