Welcome to Lanka Direct!
We started as a small neighborhood group of Minnesotans who are making a difference in the relief efforts that took place in Sri Lanka. Our direct connection with people living within the affected areas of Sri Lanka make this fund truly unique!
Thank you to all who made this endeavor a success
80 families are now living in "Minnesota Village", Weligama Sri Lanka
Minnesota Village Project DTR, which started in Weligama, received tremendous support from the Sri Lankan government and from donors around the world. This Village has now been built. The village currently has 75 houses, a skill training center, and a preschool.
Sponsors for the Medical center of the Minnesota Village are kindly welcome.
Community Center of the Minnesota Village was funded by the Prouty Project of Minnesota. In 2006, a Prouty Project expedition team was in Minnesota Village to add finishing touches to the center. Jeff and Mary Prouty with the Prouty Project Team held a fundraiser for MN Village Skills Training Center on Nov 19, 2005.
