Focus of the Month
The Focus of the Month is an interview "A long way to a smile" with
Michael Kreitmeir, founder and president of the Little Smile
Association in Sri Lanka. Michael Kreitmeir used his own savings to
set up the children's village. Since the tsunami catastrophe, he has
all but given up his life in Germany in order to concentrate on the
diverse projects. Reading the interview you will learn more about his
vision and work - and further more about the problems and chances of
"private" development work in Sri Lanka.
If you share similar or contrary experiences in Sri Lanka we would
like to encourage you to publish your topic here -

Project of the Quarter
The Project of the Month is ,,Little Smile". In 1999, the TV journalist
Michael Kreitmeier started Little Smile, a project for neglected and
traumatized war orphans, in the mountains of Sri Lanka. Little Smile
ensures children a loving home and career prospects by empowering them
to help themselves. With the donations collected, several projects
have already been launched, such as a pepper and rose plantation, a
sewing school, a joiners' workshop and an Ayurveda school.
