SRI  LANKA
10th - 24th February 2006


Having visited the school on day 4 and seen for ourselves the poverty of many of the local people, and heard that many children just never go to school because their parents can't even afford the bus fares, and having seen how much Rohan is doing to help these poor people, we have all decided to set up a trust fund. We shall be registering a charity to enable us to recover tax on donations under gift aid. We shall be setting up a detailed web site about what we propose to do to help these people and will be looking for donations from supporters. If you feel you would like to be kept informed as to progress and what we propose to do to help, please send an e-mail to atkynsmanor@tiscali.co.uk with Sri Lanka as the subject and we will keep you up to date with progress.

The Charity was floated in July 2006 under the name of the
South Cerney Sri Lankan Community Support Fund.
