Following the tsunami, 600 school children sent paintings and messages of encouragement from 32 schools in Kazakhstan, expressing their affection and offering their friendship to the children of Sri Lanka.
The paintings and messages were sent in January 2005 to the children in a newly built orphanage.
Through August and September 2005, 651 Kids to Kids packs arrived in Sri Lanka from New Zealand Schools. They were distributed through the MJF Foundation to the orphaned children in Batticaloa.
Our international team visited children in refugee camps, kindergartens and schools in western, southern and eastern Sri Lanka, which were the areas hardest hit by the tsunami. In this 10-day visit, in the very difficult conditions in which children live there, often with no electricity or water our teams performed as clowns, with marionettes and magician tricks, bringing joy and happiness to about 3,000 children, may of whom were orphans.
