Back in January 2006, we requested one of Sri Lanka's most respected charitable organizations, Sarvodaya, to identify individuals that needed assistance in restoring their lives and livelihoods.

Through this partnership with Sarvadoya, we funded gifts to two individuals who were severely impacted by the tsunami, as well as provided funding for a gift to the children's ward of a hospital.

Mr. Pallanayaham had to have one of his legs amputed due to injuries sustained by the tsunami. As a result, he has been unable to travel easily within his village and no longer felt a part of his community. We funded the manufacture and delivery of a handicap accessible tricycle to Mr. Pallanayaham which will boost his self confidence and enable him to once again become a valuable member of his community.

In addition, we provided Mr. Pallanayaham with food supplies that he could sell from his small store at the front of his home.
