Partners in Care is a registered charity whose primary aim is to work with differently abled Children in the village of Weliveriya, a village 35kms from the capital Colombo in Sri Lanka and with Children and Adults in a number of projects in the Southern coastal city of Galle.
Partners in Care aims to meet the needs of the children in Christ King College, (a Multi-denominational school set up with major assistance from Partners in Care) for 1100 Children, including Educational, Developmental or Construction projects and also at a special day centre for children with neurodevelopmental disorders also in Weliveriya.
Partners in Care is a completely voluntary organisation and was set up by a team of experienced Humanitarian Workers who have worked for more than 16 years with institutionalised Children and Adults with psychoneurological disorders in Belarus. (see Belarussian Orphanage Project at www.bop.ie)
Post Tsunami, a team worked in different regions of Sri Lanka to identify the immediate needs of the most vulnerable of Children and Adults, those with psychoneurological disorders (Differently- abled) and in partnership with the directors of the institutions, set up projects which are completed on an ongoing basis.
The Weliveriya projects were set up with Fr. Eric Madurawala catering to the needs of differently abled children, children of widowed and deserted mothers and Tsunami Orphans.
Partners in Care are presently putting the final details together of our proposed projects for 2012 in both the Weliveriya and Galle areas.
This Noticeboard provides a window into the lives of our working partners and the children in our care in Sri Lanka and will include dates of our next volunteer project.
We will also list information on our projects in Alaska for 2012.
