Many people ask me what are the specific areas that still need to be addressed. I defer to actual requests coming from people we are in contact with, who tell us how many urgent needs are being overlooked.

Yesterday Wave of Hope coorrdinator Robert Selliah had an email from the nuns of Holy Family Convent in Sri Lanka who are in need of help. The Mother General wrote to say that there was severe overcrowding in one orphanage they run, where 55 children live in a building capable of housing 40– and there were need for a library, recreation facilities etc. This is in the Vadamarachi area.

See also a tragic story here about another convent-run orphanage that was badly affected, with about 250 casualties.
