In 2004, the Asian Tsunami struck Sri Lanka and caused complete devastation, killing 37,000. Young and old, rich and poor, the tsunami didn't care who it struck. As a result, many vulnerable children were subjected to abject poverty and a poor standard of living. However, in the aftermath of such carnage, UKFG was created. Founded by my father Devsiri, we visit many deprived areas of Sri Lanka, particularly Galle and Matara, and give children a fresh start at life, by offering them scholarships and better overall facilities. But we do not just help children, but communities in general, particularly schools, whereby we have donated various libraries, shoes, books and stationary to schools that need it the most. As a result, the smiles of the Sri Lankan children have been attained once again and many children who we have sponsored are currently pursuing their goals and fulfilling their dreams.
