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.

ABDF.org would like to remind you that giving is not always monetary. If you simply tell your friends about our mission, send them the link to our site, or link your website to ours, that will help us enormously to get the word out.

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

Thanks!

— Melton Cartes
