Sri Lanka Tsunami Disaster Relief Program-2005

As a result of the December 26th tsunami that destructed vast areas in South and South-east Asia, extensive and unprecedented level of damage and loss of life occurred in Sri Lanka. According to the data released by the Sri Lankan government sources and United Nations, one third of total estimated death toll and casualties are innocent children. As an organization comprised of academics hailing from Sri Lanka, SLSAJ has ventured to help, especially the needy children in the tsunami affected areas in Sri Lanka.

It is with great appreciation and sense of gratitude we write to acknowledge the monetary contribution from you all to the relief fund established by the SLSAJ for the aforementioned purpose. We greatly value your monetary contributions as well as the sense of humane attitude shown towards the innocent victims of tsunami disaster, on behalf of SLSAJ and the whole Sri Lankan community.



Special thanks are extended to “Actions for Children at Crisis” organization led by Ms. Chieko Matsunaga for their generous contribution, and SIEN (Saitama International Exchange Network) members led by Mr. Shimada Ryouji for their heartiest support given during the on road campaign. At last, but not least, we herewith thank all of you, for helping us in numerous ways in order to get this event a success.
