Hi
I shall be out in the North East of Sri Lanka for 8 weeks from June visiting
a friend of mine, Maria (Los Quijotes, Madrid) who has been working out
there. We will be based in Trincomalee which has been at the centre of the
region's recent near-return to the 30 year old war for Tamil autonomy.
Maria is part of the Medicos del Mundo team responsible for the development
of the district's Mental Health Care capacity. Their work is concentrated on
developing therapeutic appraoches for communities displaced by the war. She
suggested that we try and get some Ultimate started in the town sports gound
with the youngsters from the 3 main ethnic groups...plus staff from the
NGO's operating in Trinco.
I shall be taking three discs out with me but thought to ask you folks if
y'all might want to donate a disc/s.
You can either post them to me...email me if you want an address to send to,
or
I can collect them at the following events (please let me know if you will
be there to donate):
Mixed Tour Colharbour,london 20May
Sandbanks Beach Tourney, Poole...weekend 3rd June
I took some discs out for some youngsters in Goa,India on Wayne Davey's
behalf earlier this year.....and they loved it. So I can only imagine the
appreciation for such things in Trinco.
OK let me know if you'd like to donate a disc and thanks for reading this..
