We are happy to announce that ABDF.org is now set up with a Twitter account.

You’ll be able to follow updates from our project director Bennett Hinkley while he is in the states or in Sri Lanka, working on our various empowerment projects or the teaching project and you’ll know exactly how you can help such a worthy cause.

If you haven’t told your friends and coworkers about us, please do! Remember, our projects cost no more than $1,500 and a little money can make a huge difference.

Thanks!
