SURFBOARD PLEA SUCCESS THANKS TO LOCAL MAN
Tim Tanton of Paddle4Relief is celebrating the arrival of the surfboard cargo that arrived at Weligama, Sri Lanka this week.
The several boards all different shapes and sizes were donated by local surfers to Paddle4Relief and have now been instantly passed over to the local youth victims of the 2004 tsunami.
Tim will be travelling back to his base of Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka this week to put in a pipeline from an existing well to the school, which he built last year and plumb in a sink inside the classroom. His next task is to design and build a secure locking device for the water tanks.
ROAD TO SUCCESS
Tim Tanton of Paddle4Relief has completed the transformation of a rundown road in Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka.
It is the first road restoration project that Tim has completed in Sri Lanka, where his charity Paddle4Relief helps empower the forgotten victims of the 2004 Tsunami. The 65 metre road, built by Tim and 2 local Sri Lankans is the main way through for many of the locals including, school children, fishermen and food transportation.
Tim has also been busy with repairing locals roofs, supplying food stuff to the village, purchasing and providing fishing equipment to families and has assisted one family to start a fish supply business
Ambassador for Paddle4Relief Paul Martin says “It’s amazing what Tim is achieving out there and we can only thank the local community here for the donations and the participation of our events that have helped make this happen”
Tim returns to the UK next month when plans are already under way for a Summer packed full of fundraising events.
TIME FOR TEA – THANKS TO LOCAL CHARITY
Tim Tanton of Paddle4Relief has just been thanked by a Sri Lankan business partnership for the restoration of their tea shop roof.
Tim replaced the roof that was not fit for the tea shop to continue. The kitchens now pass the Sri Lankans regulations on food hygiene, allowing the two men to work and run the popular business. Hanifa has four children and Isudeen has five children.
