Although we never really think of it in matters of success, we need to recognise that shipping goods to Sri Lanka is in itself worthy of a success story.

When we ship things to Sri Lanka we are never certain if and how it arrives. We neither know if and how much the customs will charge to realize our goods.

Our usual shipment consists of stamps and some hard to get by goods. However, this shipment actually contains a server computer, hard drives, children toys and stamps.

The server has been donated to us by Joost Buelens whom will be volunteering at one of our projects with disabled children in October.


Hopefully we will see a future donation of an x-amount desktop computers arriving in Sri Lanka round about the same time, so a fully fledged network can be created giving the children better tools to improve their IT skills.

Joost happens to be an absolute expert on Linux and will be a huge help making this project a success.

This of course will be detailed in one of the future success stories!
