Project Report | Jul 6, 2009
Children smile again to life

By Mary | Volunteer

Under this project progressing well and nearing completion, our priority continues to be post-disaster recovery, clean water, medical care, earning activities, and sending children to school.

For efficient results we continue to work with success in partnership with the reliable Indian Non-proft Charity Jeevana Samridhi (Life in Abundance) in Kochi, Kerala. They are also present in Tamil Nadu.

How do we work at village level or at refugee camps? For example, when a abandoned child is identified for the program of assistance, the first step is to protect the child by bringing him/her in a place where he/she can be taken care of in a family-like environment. See pictures 1,2,3 below in that order for the case of twin sisters Tanemozhi and Kanemozhi who were left homeless, hungry, sick and in despair after the tsunami in Tamil Nadu. Now an aunt is taking care of them with our support. They smile again to life.

Project is targeting about 425 people in four villages. Fishermen have already resumed their productive activities thanks to the generosity of many GlobalGiving donors and friends. Many children and poor families still need help. Thank you to help them and help us complete together all key actions of this project towards its initial goals.
