Tsunami Disaster Appeal
This charity has been launched to support people in the village of
Thirukovil, the home town of the Rev Sam the Methodist minister
from Morley who lost 31 relatives in the Tsunami. Around four hundred
families now live in temporary tented camps.
Your generous donation will provide much needed support for the
poorest survivors; primarily children, elderly and disabled who, in most
cases, have lost the majority of their families.
In an endeavour to develop skills following the loss of their fishing
industry, and give hope of rebuilding lives in the future, training programmes are planned - carpentry, brick laying and cycle repairs
for males, and sewing and embroidery classes for ladies.
The charity offers - help with love - money with pride - commitment
with concern.
Any contribution you are able to make will go directly to this much
needed area - no administration fees or expenses are levied.
Morley For Thirukovil
Registered Charity No. 1108832
