When we visit Sri Lanka one of the highlights of the trip is our day out with the girls from the orphanage, which we have supported since 2005. Since 2008 FODAD has supported vocational studies at the orphanage. The aim is for the children to be able to leave and earn their own livings. We employ teachers for dress-making, cookery and home economics classes and the girls are doing very well indeed.
This afternoon Della cut the ribbon to a new cookery classroom. We then looked at an exhibition of handiwork before Don helped give out the prizes for the best students and we then watched a wonderful exhibition of dancing. The money we spend is a really worthwhile investment.
