The
overall objective of The Sunshine Charity will be to address both
short term and long term needs of ALL Sri Lankan children.Among
the short term needs, immediate relief was provided at 7 camps for
people affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami. Three of these camps
were located in the southern district, three in the north-eastern
district and one in the western province of Sri Lanka. In this effort,
children of all three ethnic communities were considered.
The
Sunshine Charity strongly believes that the needs of children are
the same and will therefore give equal consideration to children
whether they are affected by natural disaster (tsunami) or man-made
disaster (ethnic conflict).
'The Sunshine Charity will consider the needs of Sri Lankan children
whichever ethnic community they come from. All Sri Lankan children
have the right to be protected.
The
Sunshine Charity will therefore take an equitable approach to the
needs of children.' said a spokesman from the Charity.
