2007 & 2008

• Housed and helped scores of families restore their livelihoods and damaged homes in the aftermath of the tsunami.
• Raised funds from the Clinton Foundation and private donors to construct 48 homes for the EACT families whose homes were destroyed by the tsunami. The land was purchased with funds provided by Dr. Senanayake without government assistance. All houses are now occupied, and our new village is functioning.
• Equipped 1,754 local children with the supplies they need-but cannot afford- in order to attend the "free" public schools.
• Raised funds mainly from individual U.S. donors plus others to construct a Community Center that has already become the heart of the new village of 48 houses. The Community Center serves not only the new village but also the hundreds of EACT children and families in the Kalutara area.
• Equipped and staffed the Community Center to provide after-school instruction in English (60 students) and Computer Skills (45 students).
• Began providing nutritious meals prepared by the villagers for the students, who would otherwise go hungry and be unable to concentrate on their studies.
• Began providing special classes for 70 to 80 promising students prior to their taking the A Level and O Level public examinations that determine whether and where they can continue their studies.
• Educated local children about pedophilic activities and HIV/AIDS.
