The Kathaluwa Center in Sri Lanka serves 300 children affected by the 2004 tsunami, 47 of them are orphans. They come after school for homework help. They all love to draw, and we always need supplies. Not only does the center offer programs for life-long learning such as English classes and computer training, but it is also a place to make art and have fun.
The Gift
Your donation will buy a box of colored pencils, art paper, glue and watercolors to share. Our volunteer art teacher organizes the Kathaluwa Center Art Classes.
