In December, 2011, the SOS LANKA ACTION team ventured out to one particular area near Colombo to identify aid projects to be realized in 2012. We have identified about 15 new projects that need funding. Several toilets need to be built, houses mended or extended, medicine or mechanical medical instruments procured, etc. Please contact our SOS LANKA ACTION staff for details....more>>

During our work stay in Sri Lanka, in December, 2011, we followed up with 11 women who had been given mechanical sewing machines in August, 2010, in order to establish that they are using the machines to improve their livelihoods from the proceeds of the sale of their products. It could be established that all parties but one are very successful. Please contact us for the related report....more>>

In late December, 2011, numerous families and individuals came to collect second-hand clothes, toys and other items we had sent over from Hong Kong. Young single mothers were given cots and baby items for their newborn babies. On this occasion we also distributed in excess of 130 school exercise books to underprivileged children whose parents cannot afford purchasing such books. Please inquire for our related elaborate report....more>>

In December, 2011, 13 different families and individuals received vital assistance from SOS LANKA ACTION to start up or boost their own small-scale businesses, enabling them to earn a living in a sustainable way. Among other things, five parties intending to trade in spices got such in six different varieties; one husband-and-wife couple received the vital tools to start producing and selling local sweets; yet another couple that already produces and sells cotton-based goods and could not afford growing their business, received a 30 kg sack of raw cotton; and more. Please inquire with us for a full report....more>>

On December 20, 2011, the SOS LANKA ACTION team gave away 75 food hampers plus 36 sacks of five-kg rice bags to families and individuals who had not been registered to receive a food hamper. 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. We will submit an elaborate report of the event and further actions initiated by our charity after the return of our team to Hong Kong. ...more>>

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>>

On August 23, 2011, SOS LANKA ACTION donated eleven mechanical sewing machines to a selected group of women who would now be able to have one means to sustain themselves and their families.

After a successful project held in 2008 SOS LANKA ACTION decided to organize another Christmas Hamper Campaign in late 2009, and with the kind help by and generous donations from various parties and individuals in DB we could give away 60 hampers to happy recipients in Sri Lanka - almost a third more than in 2008! Now we aim to double that figure during our 2010 campaign! Many thanks to all who chipped in generously.
