Hi everybody!

Well I leave Batticaloa tomorrow evening, and this years’ season will be officially over. I’m taking the dread night train to Colombo. I will spend the rest of my time, about a week and a half, wandering the island, and fly out the Monday the 27th.

Our first season as the ABDF has worked out as well as I hoped. I definitely learned a lot about how things operate here; valuable experience for the future. I’ve also made a huge number of contacts, which will also make things easier in the future. Furthermore, I have a great group of projects for next year. I wish we could have done more, but the number of projects is limited by the amount of funds we raise. Hopefully with this years’ track record we can raise a bigger budget for next year!
