"Giving and receiving love has become the world's currency after the tsunami. We do everything that makes people laugh. Laughter is the best medicine. I want to stop their suffering. I decided to come to sri lanka, as I have a great feeling of tragedy and desire to encourage people to rebuild after tsunami." Dr. Adams says one positive aspect of the tsunami was that it had made people forget their greed for power and think of humanity. When the power of nature destroys, there is no one to blame. You have got to collect the pieces and move on your own, but the world did not forget these people.

Dr. Patch Adams is 59 years old.
