Elisa, 38 holds her grandchild in front of a bear who spits on a cotton thread that will be tied around the child's neck to protect her from ghosts and evil spirits who perished in the tsunami in Nagapattinam district in Tamil Nadu, India August 31,2005. Villagers have been frightened by rumors of ghosts and are taking desperate measures to protect themselves in this society which is deeply superstitious. Even though billions of dollars have been put towards the devastation, the recovery process is slow and the situation still grim for many of the world's poorest. (Ami Vitale)
