The document summarizes a handicraft workshop rehabilitation program started after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The program taught handicraft skills like doll making to over 400 women from villages affected by the tsunami. The dolls, called Tsunamikas, provided an income source and were distributed worldwide as symbols of hope. Over time the program evolved to include new designs, train local women as teachers, and become self-sustaining through donations, with the dolls continuing to spread messages of peace and empowerment around the world over a decade later.
