Educate 33 children with disabilities in Sri Lanka

GlobalGiving as always gives us monetary support.  By providing a user-friendly portal for donors to provide financial donations GlobalGiving supports our vision and mission, to enable people with disabilities create productive and stimulating lives. Thanks to GlobalGiving we are able to provide all our many services free of charge to the families.

This year we went on our annual beach trip early, on the 5^th of February, hoping to avoid the monsoon season.  The sea was still rough apparently because it was a cloudy day. But we appreciated the clouds for providing shade from the brilliant tropical sun. Our students accompanied by a parent each, and a group of young volunteers gadded about sea and sand having a great time. An excellent lunch at a good hotel was another highlight. After lunch there was music and dancing in a hall provided by the hotel.  Hosting them brings E.A.S.E. Foundation great joy. 

We consider informed parents essential to our students. We held a workshop for parents on the sixth of March. They learned about Autism, Down syndrome etc. and how to help their children thrive.

As always, we joined the world-wide celebration of Autism Day on the 2^nd of April. A street drama group entertained us through a depiction of inclusion in a school setting.  Since our traditional New Years Day occurs in April we gave a bag of goodies to each family.

We also started a dance class conducted by a young professional dancer.  This is a very popular addition to our line up of classes. 

Without the support we get from donors through GlobalGiving none of this would have been possible.  Our heartfelt thanks go out to you for being the wind beneath our wings.
