We all remember the tsunami that took place in Sri Lanka in 2004, sixteen years ago. Many people were killed in this horrific natural disaster and many families were ripped apart. Akram Rizkhan was 5 years old when the tsunami wiped out his village and he lost his mother. His mother never stopped looking for him. And with success! After sixteen years, they were finally reunited.
