• Help Sri Lanka: Small Projects, Immediate Impact

    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.


Wanna Visit Sri Lanka?

These are a series of articles that Bennett Hinkley, our Program Manager, wrote answering questions he'd received from friends wanting to come and visit him in Batticaloa. These answer the questions that you're too afraid to ask: public mores, eating, what kind of underwear to bring, and, the most dreaded question of all: how to use a squat toilet were there is no toilet paper. So please peruse these articles, and have fun. If you have any other questions, or need more info about what you read here, please feel free to contact Bennett. No question is too embarassing!
