James Lindley hasn't added a story.
Hi! I'm James Lindley, I'm a 17 year old A-Level student currently in my 1st year of study.
On Boxing day of 2004, a tsunami was triggered by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake in the Indian Ocean. This tsunami ended the lives of over 36,000 people, destroyed over 90,000 buildings, and completely crippled the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens, just like you and me.
In the summer of 2016, I will be travelling to Galle, Sri Lanka, with a team of 20 other students from my school. During our 2 and a half week stay, we will be working hard to:
- improve and renovate the physical appearance of local schools
- teach English and maths to the local school children and bakery girls
- help and socialise with residents at the home for the elderly
- help children at the Sacred Heart special needs centre
- teach the bakery girls basic cooking skills
Each student must individually raise at least £1000 to help fund the projects. We will also need to replace the contents of our normal suitcase, with supplies (including stationary, laptops, clothes etc.) to give to the locals in Galle.
Any donations (no matter how small) will be gratefully received.
Working together to change the lives of tsunami victims in Sri Lanka...
thank you in advance!
