LIFECYCLE Fundraising - Successes

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:

    “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)

    “The brotherhood of men does not imply their equality. Families have their fools and their men of genius, their black sheep and their saints, their worldly successes and their worldly failures. A man should treat his brothers lovingly and with justice, according to the deserts of each. But the deserts of every brother are not the same.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Small successes are still successes; great failures are still failures.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
