In the early months of 2006, a group of very dedicated and compassionate individual donors from Dubai collected funding to reconstruct the tsunami affected village of Udumulla.

Phase 1 of the rehabilitation program for the village involved the construction of 17 houses in the village of Udumulla.

Phase 2 of the project involves construction of a community centre as part of the ‘Village Heartbeat Project’ in Udumulla. The centre will foster an educational environment for the village children and will provide them with essential English and computer skills as well as a library to assist their education.

Thanks to Mr. Ivan Sovis and his friends, not only have families in desperate need been rehoused, but the village will have facilities to provide many opportunities for their future.
