TSUNAMI PROJECT AT PAHAMUNE HOUSE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL, SRI LANKA

Pahamune House is home to over 100 children from both Tamil and Muslim backgrounds, all of whom lost one or both parents or suffered complete destruction of their homes in the Tsunami of December 2004. The children attend local schools and receive training at Pahamune House in English and computer skills plus vocational training is such skills as sewing and plumbing. The Trust funded the conversion of an existing building for this purpose and has equipped the building to enable these education programmes to take place.
