I'm Co-founder of The TEA Project and Director. Probably best described as a creative element.
I bring a coloured and varied wealth of professional value to the project; gathered from decades of travel, work, education and life experience.
“The most valuable things I have learned in life came from listening and observing people, opinions and situations; good and bad. The most important thing I feel I can do to repay that education is to try and help the lives of people less fortunate than myself; to become a positive part of that same education”.
I attribute my achievements to friends, family and an unrelenting personal resolve.
“I want to make my dreams a reality ”
Come and help TEA! TEA NEED YOU....
The TEA Project works to empower Sri Lankan children from poverty.
We provide training, support and guidance to schools, orphanages and grass roots organisations; working directly with marginalised, vulnerable children and young people from poor communities.
The project helps give young people a voice. A voice which develops ambition, skills, knowledge and opportunities for underprivileged children. Unlocking a child’s hidden potential.
Children need to feel valued as important individuals with active rights; principles that will help guide their future's.
Every child should grow respecting diversity and experience how helping others is a basic human right.
We believe passionately that developing skills, aspirations and confidence in young people is key to securing a positive and sustainable future for the next generation.
The TEA Project is based in Kandy, within the Central Highland Province. Like the unique Kandyan weather the ethnic and religious context is as strong and diverse with Sinhalese, Tamil, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim and Christian communities sharing the close proximity of the city. We support children from the poorest urban and rural areas throughout Sri Lanka where education and lives have been disrupted by poor economics, war, poverty, abuse and natural disaster.
The TEA Project donates its services nationally to assist organisations who give support to thousands of vulnerable children and families. Our tailor-made training is what makes The TEA Project unique; made to meet any learning objectives.
