We arrived in Sri Lanka on November 20th and went
straight to the fishing village.
Although it was Sunday, the children were hard at work in our
school on the beach which we set up in 2015 and since has grown from strength to strength.

All over Sri Lanka the children were taking their exams last
week so, although we visited the government school we support we did not want
to disturb them. This week, things will be very different.
On Monday, we stopped by the nursery school we support. The kids were as cute as ever and very
pleased to see us.
Since 2005 FODAD has financed a
free clinic through St. Joseph’s Church in Ratmalana. It is open every Friday from 9am to 1pm. We
visited on Friday. There are over 3,750
registered patients and FODAD pays for all the drugs the doctors prescribe. These can be very expensive. We bring vitamins from the UK when we visit
as they are hard to come by in Sri Lanka.
11 dedicated doctors work a rota on a voluntary basis. We also sponsor 15 children through the
same group. Our relationship with the Committee is now in
its 12th year and we have become firm friends.
