Today we donated a bicycle to a skillfull, reliable and hard working electrician who has been working for Jeyaseelan on a Sarvodaya housing project. Jeyaraj lost his bike last December and has been needing this independent mode of transportation since. A nice push in the back from Tante Nicole (garage sale) and Albine Jungwirth!

With half of the money that Jasper collected we were able to buy this second-hand catamaran. Now P. Vijayakumar is catching fish in the lagoon again. Thank you, Jasper! Met de helft van het geld dat Jasper inzamelde konden we deze tweedehands katamaran aankopen. P. Vijayakumar kan nu terug vis gaan vangen in het lagoon. Bedankt Jasper! More Pictures - Meer foto's

The home for the mentally ill that Sudandiran, ayurvedic doctor and Hindu priest, used to run close to Kalmunai town was destroyed by the tsunami. This left him without means to continue his medical practice. For some time he had to borrow things from his coleagues. Then Jeyaseelan got to know Sudandiran, found out about his needs, told me his story and we decided to donate the essential things

Nederlands In the end of September goldsmiths Sathishkumar and Yasokumar, both youth friends of Jeyaseelan's, asked him if he could help them to get goldsmith tools again through his contacts. Because everybody thinks goldsmiths are rich they were overlooked by aid workers and they have been forced to work with insufficient borrowed materials ever since the tsunami. In order to make a living

Nederlands Since the end of July I have been volunteering on an SCI (Service Civil International) workcamp in Kalmunai, a small Tamil/Muslim town on the East coast. Jeyaseelan, a Sri Lankan friend who I trust for 100% and who works for a local NGO called 'Sarvodaya' is helping me to find individual tsunami victims who still need help. After 2 months of anticipation things are starting to happen

Op het moment dat de tsunami een groot deel van de kusten van Zuidoost-Azië verwoestte, verbleef ik in Nieuw-Zeeland. Gegrepen door de enorme nood vertrok ik in februari naar het Tsunami Volunteer Center in Khao Lak, Thailand.

Au moment où le tsunami frappait une grande partie des côtes du Sud-Est Asiatique, je me trouvais en Nouvelle Zélande.
