WISH LIST - LATEST
The Hopes and Dreams Village in the Tsunami affected area of southern Sri Lanka is nearing completion. We will have two rooms for local craft industries, and we are planning to teach some of the young orphans and some of the widowed young ladies to make candles and soap.

With that in mind we are wondering if anyone might have any old supplies, equipment or ingredients that they might consider donating to us. We are also hoping to find people who might like to come to this beautiful island to teach either of these crafts. If you can help in any way, please contact us.
