Welcome to ABDF.org! — ABDF.org was formed by Bennett Hinkley, with the help of several friends and colleagues, after he visited the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka and saw first-hand the devastation caused by the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami that caused such large-scale tragedy across most of the Asian coastline.
Students at Vantharumoolai school.
ABDF.org is dedicated to raising funds to donate to small-scale projects that are needed by the people of this region of Sri Lanka. Our projects have a maximum total of $1,500USD, which means that donations can quickly match the need of each project and create immediate benefits for the people of Batticaloa.
Please donate generously and tell your friends, neighbors, family and colleagues about ABDF.org. Learn more throughout this website or contact us.
The General Fund allows us to allocate funds to different projects as needed.
Please donate generously.
If you’d prefer to donate to specific projects, visit the Projectspage to learn more about the different things that need to be done and you can donate from there.
Checks are great too!
The other way to make sure that all of your money goes to ABDF — and in the case of project-specific donations, that all of your money goes to the project — is by writing and mailing a check.
Please make checks out to "ABDF" and mail them to:
