Tangalle: Ruth distributing shoeboxes of toys to refugees at a school |
|
Our first consignment of aid (flown
out courtesy of Air Sri Lanka) included shoeboxes of toys which we were unable
to put on our truck before Christmas. If you wish to donate new small toys for
the children (Sri Lanka Aid collection), please send these as they are (and not
in shoeboxes) so that we can send them in bulk to refugee camps, orphanages and
schools. Subsequent aid is going by container ship. |
Tangalle: THANK YOU, KNITTERS, your
teddies were eagerly received by the children. |
Hambantota:
The children lost all their toys, and these teddies have brought smiles to many
children's faces. Local doctors said these were ideal to comfort traumatised
children. |
Tangalle: Thank you for my shoebox! |

milk contains purifiers, as it is often made up with unclean water. Western
dried babymilk cannot be used here |
