AMITSU

The AMI Tsunami Children's House Foundation is located in Sri Lanka and was founded by the late Premala Wijemanne in 2006, who was a Montessori teacher who owned and ran her own school in Kansas City in the United States. Premela started this foundation with the idea of giving a safe place to the children affected by the 2004 Tsunami... We now have 22 children ranging from ages 4 to 15 years with 12 girls and 10 boys of whom the older children attend Primary and Secondary School locally and the younger ones are taught in-house as we have a fully equipped Montessori school. Our aim is to hopefully see that these children are sent out into the world with a good eduction and trained in a vocation suited to their talents, once they have completed their secondary school eduction. We hope and pray that no child will ever have to go back to the life that they left behind and that they will grow to be productive citizens of their country... We are hoping to raise funds, in kind contributions..
