Please kindly read this EMail and the contents when you have time.
A  visit to Vanni area in  April 2011 around Mullaitheevu/Vavuniya/ Pulliyankullam/ Killinochi area contacting and visiting more than 100 families provided some of the following information.

What we do

A small contribution a month will help to feed a disabled and displaced family.

This Project do not collect any money from anyone and no middle person and no administration fees. No one get credit.
We connect you directly to the affected families.

You check their eligibility and if necessary confirm with the registered NGO’s,  Grama Sevaka or field staff in the relevant area. Field staff themselves are affected.

You communicate directly with the affected family and provide your support directly.

Two years have passed since the war ended and these families are desperately in need of some assistance  to get on with their day to day life ie finance and moral support.

If anybody wishes to help and wants to be anonymous it can be arranged too.

If you are already committed to a similar project it would be much appreciated if you could pass this message to all in your contact list so that others come forward to assist these affected people.

What has been done to date

We have already connected many of these families and some of the families we met were delighted to inform that someone somewhere cares about them when they have nothing to look forward.
