2003 – Sue and Steve were invited by the Mayor of Matara, Sri Lanka to visit the local school for deaf and blind children with the hopes of them being able to provide some assistance. They were treated to a procession put on by local children to celebrate their visit to the school “the amazing thing was that although the kids were deaf and blind they were able to play marching music during the procession.”
The school was in desperate need of a new toilet block, as sanitary conditions were becoming a huge issue and disease a real threat. With support of the local aid worker they were able provide the funds to build a new toilet block for the school.
