Sri Lanka, Children of the Tsunami. Between March and August of 2006, three Spirit Aid teams spent a total of two months working in Sri Lanka. On a daily basis, the teams delivered emergency supplies of food, medicine, bedding, cooking pots, mosquito nets and stoves. Spirit Aid adopted the Lake School Orphanage in Hikkadua, home to 65 boys and placed 2 Home Mothers in the Lake School to further improve the quality of life for these boys.

For further training opportunities, we built 2 workshops; one for carpentry the other for metalwork. Training is also guaranteed in jewellery making for any boy that holds this interest.

Cape Town, Film Industry Township Fund. Cape Town is known as the "City of Hope". People of all races are learning to live together in peace, harmony and justice. In a couple of generations the people of South Africa will be showing the rest of the world how it is possible for us all to live and grow together without prejudice or hatred.

However, at the present time there is still a very brutal Economic Apartheid and the disparity in wealth is shocking. For example, in the Township of Khayelitsha, the biggest shanty town in the city, there is an approximate population of 1 million people. Many families are child led due to parental deaths from aids/HIV and the girls (some very young) are forced into prostitution on the highways in order to support their siblings, bringing closer the risk of Aids to further devastate the family.
