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.
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.
ABDF has a great volunteer opportunity for adventurous-minded folks with teaching abilities. This is a once in a lifetime chance to experience Sri Lanka in an intimate way few foreigners ever do. Intrigued? Introducing the ABDF's Upcountry Teachers Project!
Hi everybody!
The following is the text of an email I received this morning. Several of our projects have been in conjunction with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, which works among the most impoverished of Batticaloas’ poor and disenfranchised; in particular orphans, widows, and the aged. Mr. Gabriel is the President of the Society, which is located at Thandavanvely Church, on the border of Batticaloa Town. (For those of you who have been to Batti, it’s the big church on Trinco Road, just down from Sunshine Bakery.)
Dear Mr. Ben,
Wish you A Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year 2010.

If a monetary donation is out of the question, please donate your energy and tell a friend.
Thanks!
