Project Activities
- Qualified teachers conduct free after school tuition classes that follow the national public school curriculum.
- Activities are designed to reinforce formal education, so children's attention spans are increased, self-confidence restored, etc.
- Sri Lankan and foreign volunteers teach songs, rhymes, games, and activities to children according to age group.
- Our children relate to one another as brothers & sisters who have survived a common catastrophe, so their bonds of friendship are exceptionally strong.
- Our Center provides them with a friendly and positive supportive environment away from the alcoholism and family violence that plague tsunami-traumatized families.
- 'Synergy Club' social & artistic activities counter tsunami victims' shyness, depression, loneliness, etc. and facilitate return to normal psychological well being.
- Nutrition: daily fresh fruit & milk essential for growing bodies, as nutritional supplement for children and staff volunteers, that are lacking in their heavy but nutritionally poor diets.
- Health & nutrition awareness, career guidance, disaster preparedness and other counselling activities
- Social work: local volunteers go into the homes of affected families to identify needs and remedial actions to help individual affected children.
