Rebuilding Schools in Sri Lanka

The tsunami that hit Sri Lanka in 2004 damaged or destroyed more than 187 coastal schools. 

District 3220 raised more than US $12 million to build 25 new schools.  The district received aid from The Rotary Foundation, Rotary clubs from around the world, and other organizations. 

“My school is a beautiful place,” says Imesha Udari de Zoyza of her newly built school. 

More than 22 schools are back in service, which provides for about 12,000 children who were affected by the tsunami.
