The Tsunami Volunteer Center, based in Khao Lak, Thailand, was founded in January 2005 in response to the Indian Ocean Tsunami. TVC is a Thai-led NGO funded almost entirely by private donation and is not affiliated with any religions. Its aim is to assist in the restoration of tsunami-affected communities through empowerment. The Center serves strictly as a “partner organization” in that projects undertaken by the Center are driven exclusively by community needs and are executed in full partnership with village members.  Visit site
