In the Tsunami of December 26th 2004, 1800 of the 5000 inhabitants of the village of Thirukovil in Sri Lanka lost their lives.   The local high school was completely destroyed. 300 families were displaced and 55 children were orphaned.

We want to give them some hope for the future - the kids say it best themselves ...

The village is on the eastern side of Sri Lanka and caught the full force of the Tsunami

Our target is to raise money in the UK and help the village on an on-going basis- every penny raised will be spent on schoolbooks, library computers, musical instruments and the adventure playground at the school.  By spending the funds locally we will ensure that nothing is taken up by government administration costs and the local economy benefits as much as possible.

The money will also buy a plot of land to build a community centre for recreational studies and games so that the community can rebuild their future.
