All this was possible because of the very generous financial donations by many parties, and we wish to take this opportunity to thank all our kind donors.

CASH DONATIONS TO SOS LANKA ACTION INSTEAD OF BIRTHDAY PRESENTS
In the true spirit of "TO GIVE IS MORE REWARDING THAN TO RECEIVE" a little girl from Discovery Bay who recently celebrated her 7th birthday had a wonderful idea: after learning the news about SOS LANKA ACTION's annual Christmas Food Hamper Campaign she asked all her B'day party guests to make cash donations to SOS LANKA ACTION in support for our campaign instead of buying her presents. In this way, our favorite hero girl collected and handed over to us no less than HK$ 2,200.00! Thank you JULIET KOUNG for this great idea and your considerable generosity! We will make it a point to inform the recipients of this year's food hampers about your truly loving gift! ...more>>
