The Boxing Day 2004 Tsunami was a tragedy that shattered the lives throughout South East Asia. Early in 2005 the Annika Linden Foundation made a commitment to support long-term projects aiding survivors and their families. ALF founder Mark Weingard and Moo Baulch set up Thai Together to be a forum for charity groups and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) working in the post-tsunami recovery effort.

The Thai Together website became a useful tool for inter-group coordination and as a means to avoid duplicity of effort. After a year of successful operation that was gratefully recognized by local authorities, Thai Together was closed, having fulfilled its objectives.
