One Year On

One Year On is a collaborative initiative by the local aid and development community to profile New Zealand funded response to the Boxing Day 2004 tsunami disaster.

Over 40 agencies and community groups are involved - ranging from NZAID, the Government's international aid and development agency which is managing New Zealand's $68 million official aid-package to the region, to community groups that raised thousands of dollars through concerts, collections and sausage sizzles.

As part of One Year On, a group of New Zealand journalists and photographers is visiting key New Zealand-funded projects in Indonesia and Sri Lanka to see how our Kiwi generosity is making a difference to those affected by the tsunami. The media trip will take place from Wednesday 30 November to Tuesday 12 December, 2005.

The purpose of this Blog is to provide information and images from the media trip, highlighting the stories of New Zealanders involved in the massive-scale recovery and reconstruction effort.
