Successes
LIFECYCLE's focus in 2005 was on the areas most affected by the Tsunami disaster, particularly in the country of Sri Lanka. Through a combination of fundraising events and donations from members, LIFECYCLE was able to provide funding for various projects, including:
- the construction of a children's home in eastern Sri Lanka, in partnership with Arobanam Children's Fund
- the production of an English teaching pack, in partnership with Volunteers for English in Sri Lanka
- the servicing of 12 solar powered radios for radio listener groups in Madagascar, through the Dodwell Trust
In 2006, as well as continuing to fund reconstruction efforts in Sri Lanka, LIFECYCLE is expanding its operations with new projects in countries to include Bulgaria, Nepal, India and Madagascar. LIFECYCLE has completed the following projects in the first quarter of 2006:
- provision of two new wells, a pharmacy and five latrines in Madagascar, in partnership with AZAFADY
- a successful, life-saving heart operation for a girl of 16 months in Sri Lanka, in partnership with the SHIVA Charity

Famous quotes containing the word successes:
“There never comes a point where a theory can be said to be true. The most that one can claim for any theory is that it has shared the successes of all its rivals and that it has passed at least one test which they have failed.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
“We never taste a perfect joy; our happiest successes are mixed with sadness.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
