Phase 14:  Mai / June / July 2002

In early May, we start building near the wells a small house for employees. Volunteers visiting from Europe will be able to stay here too.

On the last day of celebrations for Buddha's birthday, the entire Little Smile family - children and staff - enjoy an outing to the Adisham Monastery near Haputale.

Shared experiences bond!
Our youngest child, 6-year-old Ranjith and our oldest member of staff, Mister William.
Our children and our staff will remember such experiences for a very long time.

A wish fulfilled.
Our kitchen staff display proudly their new "uniforms".

Every new start is difficult!
Maduschika and Mali have never before eaten with a spoon, but they are eager to become experts with this strange device.
Regular practice in using knife, fork and spoon are part of preparing for the future.
