In pictures: Sunshine Nursery

Alana McGowan, from the UK, lost her sister and nieces when the tsunami hit the Thai island of Phi Phi.

Here she talks about her quest to set up a nursery for surviving children, who now live in camps in the mainland town of Krabi.

"It was a group of Phi Phi families themselves who came up with the idea of a nursery, and I decided to take it on as a project in memory of my sister’s two daughters.

I wanted to create somewhere fun for the children of Phi Phi."
