(Near Colombo, Sri Lanka) — During Congressman Chris Smith’s recent survey of humanitarian relief efforts in South Asia, he visited a relocation center in Sri Lanka for tsunami survivors.  Smith is pictured here listening to the stories of tsunami victims at the center.  Many had lost multiple family members, including their children.  Smith is supporting Congressional legislation which will provide additional funding for emergency food and shelter, assist with family reunification efforts, and help the recovery of lives and livelihoods.  In particular, the legislation will help protect orphaned children at risk of abuse from sex traffickers by providing for the physical, social and educational needs of children and preventing sex trafficking rings from setting up operations in post-conflict and natural disaster situations.
