Fundraisers Ruth and Sharon Perry will be travelling to Sri Lanka in January to do some voluntary work at the home for a month. They will teach the girls English, generally show them love and attention and give them lots of hugs!  As the orphanage gets no government funding, Torrevieja resident Ruth and her friends back in the UK are in the process of setting up a charity to support the orphanage.

Desperately needed are toiletries, pens, pencils, toys and batteries. Ruth and Sharon also hope to raise enough money to paint the orphanage and make it more homely. The outside area also needs attention to make it more accessible to the children as a play area.
