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:
“Small successes are still successes; great failures are still failures.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“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)
“You may have enemies whom you hate, but not enemies whom you despise. You must take pride in your enemy: then your enemy’s successes will be your successes as well.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
