Field visit - Sri Lanka

Few days in Sri Lanka in the company of Buddhima, InMaLanka coordinator, allowed us to make a point with the Kegalle orphanage.

The orphanage that welcomes girls is supported by InMaLanka since 2008. The state provides a minimal allowance for each child from the orphanage (a few euro cents) and living conditions are difficult. The roof leaks and the funds allocated by the government are not sufficient to make the children eat every day. Donations from villagers and allowance from the government are sufficient only to provide 50% of the foods required. This is why InMaLanka will continue its supply of food.

Children and the school staff have made a small vegetable garden which will help to have fresh vegetables regularly.

With the support of the Swiss NGO SOS Pour Un Monde Meilleur and of Mrs Magali B., sponsor, InMaLanka brought 50kg of rice, 4kg of milk powder (about 200 glasses), and some biscuits for a snack with the kids.

Food supply are made regularly by InMaLanka coordinator, Buddhima.
