Nemcova did a Reddit AMA on Monday, meant to raise awareness for her organization Happy Hearts Fund, which has rebuilt 85 schools to date since the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.



Nemcova lost her fiancé in the disaster, and started the Happy Hearts Fund in 2006.

ThePeachyPanda: At what point during the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami did you realize that you were in danger? Did you hear about it on the news first or did you witness the tsunami first?

PN: There was no warning at all. Everything happened within seconds. First I heard people screaming and then the whole bungalow which I was in with my partner started to crumble from the tsunami waves.



Robtangle:
Given that you've accomplished so much in both your professional and humanitarian pursuits, what's your proudest achievement? And/or what's your next big goal or dream?

PN: Knowing that children who went through so much trauma during a natural disaster and were forgotten...for many months and sometimes years now have disaster proof schools...is the proudest achievement for me and the happy hearts fund team.My next dream for Happy Hearts and beyond is my goal to create sustained response after natural disaster so children are not forgotten for so many years.
