<div>Hallo allemaal,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wij zijn Inoka en Irèsha, twee zusjes die in 1985 vanuit Sri Lanka naar Nederland zijn geadopteerd. We zijn opgegroeid in een fijn gezin in Limburg en hebben een mooie jeugd gehad. En hebben ons altijd thuis gevoeld hier. Ons leven nam echter een bijzondere wending tijdens een reis naar ons geboorteland in 2023.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Op vakantie in Sri Lanka ontdekte Irèsha onverwachts informatie over onze biologische familie, waaronder de naam van een halfbroer en het adres van onze biologische moeder. Met steun van Inoka besloot Irèsha onze moeder te bezoeken. Deze emotionele hereniging was een onvergetelijk moment, waarin ze ook te horen kreeg dat we nog een zusje, een halfzusje en vier halfbroertjes in Sri Lanka hebben.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maar wat ze ook zag, is dat onze biologische moeder in armoede leeft, net als veel mensen in haar omgeving. Daarom ondersteunen we onze moeder nu financieel.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maar we willen meer doen. Samen met de Sampath Foundation, die veel ervaring heeft met gemeenschapsprojecten in Sri Lanka, gaan we een community college opzetten in de buurt van het dorp van onze familie. Dat is een plek waar kansarme mensen zich kunnen ontwikkelen zonder dat dit veel kosten met zich meebrengt. De gemeenschap weet het beste waar behoefte aan is en beslist daarom zelf welke cursussen en activiteiten er worden aangeboden. Voor volwassenen zijn er voorlichtingsbijeenkomsten, korte beroepsopleidingen en ondernemerschapsonderwijs mbv microkredieten. Voor kinderen zijn er pre-schoolse activiteiten en bijles om hen voor te bereiden op geschikte vervolgopleidingen. Dit college zal niet alleen onze familie, maar ook de bredere gemeenschap kansen bieden.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In februari 2025 reizen Irèsha en haar man Pieter opnieuw naar Sri Lanka om te zien hoe een bestaand community college werkt en te leren hoe we ons eigen project kunnen realiseren.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Voor de opbouw van dit project hebben we jullie hulp nodig. Het is een belangrijke stap voor de toekomst van onze familie en gemeenschap en we kunnen dit niet alleen. Elke bijdrage maakt een verschil. Samen kunnen we een blijvende impact maken en levens veranderen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alvast ontzettend bedankt!

<div><strong><em>"Dream for Sri Lanka: give our family a future"</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are Inoka and Irèsha, two sisters who were adopted from Sri Lanka to the Netherlands in 1985. We grew up in a loving family in Limburg and had a wonderful childhood. We have always felt at home here. However, our lives took a special turn during a trip to our country of birth in 2023.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On holiday in Sri Lanka, Irèsha unexpectedly discovered information about our biological family, the name of a half-brother and the address of our biological mother. With the support of Inoka, Irèsha decided to visit our mother. This emotional reunion was an unforgettable moment, in which she also heard that we still have one sister, one halfsister and four half-brothers in Sri Lanka.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But what she also saw is that our biological mother lives in poverty, just like many people around her. Which is why we support our mother financially now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we want to do more. Together with the Sampath Foundation, which has a lot of experience with community projects in Sri Lanka, we are going to set up a community college near our family's village. It is a place where underprivileged people can develop, without it costing them a lot of money. The community knows best what is needed and therefore decides for itself which courses and activities are offered. For adults there are information sessions, short vocational training courses and entrepreneurship education using microcredits. For children there are pre-school activities and tutoring to prepare them for suitable further education. This college will not only offer opportunities to our family, but also to the wider community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In February 2025, Irèsha and her husband Pieter will travel to Sri Lanka again to see how an existing community college works and to learn how we can realize our own project.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need your help to build this project. It is an important step for the future of our family and community and we cannot do this alone. Every contribution makes a difference. Together we can make a lasting impact and change lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you very much in advance!
</div>
<div><br />
