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:
“Neither years nor books have yet availed to extirpate a prejudice then rooted in me, that a scholar is the favorite of Heaven and earth, the excellency of his country, the happiest of men. His duties lead him directly into the holy ground where other men’s aspirations only point. His successes are occasions of the purest joy to all men. Eyes is he to the blind; feet is he to the lame. His failures, if he is worthy, are inlets to higher advantages.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I do not think our successes can compete with those of Lourdes. There are so many more people who believe in the miracles of the Blessed Virgin than in the existence of the unconscious.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Small successes are still successes; great failures are still failures.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
