I am going to Sri Lanka because of the very good reason that this trip can be a big experiance and also that it will make a huge different on those people who lost everything due to tsunami.

I am looking forward to explore the country specially now that we are a team of young people which got the chance to do something which we can tell everybody about our common trip.

I choosed this project because solidarity with the 3rd world is importent in this days where there is so many people suffering especially after tsunami. Asia is close to my heart due to my previous trip to India and Nepal.

I am looking forward to:
-give/take cultural exchange between danish/sri lankan.
-to be thrown into a cultural different inviroment with a problem to solve.
-to make a different and see the results giving bigger results.

I am not looking forward to:
-come back to the daily life in Denmark.

I choosed this project because I think it's very importent to think of the others specially after what happend on the december. People lost familie members, houses and schools. Therefore it was the right decision for me to go on a mission like this.

I am looking forward to know more about the country and its culture.

Place : Hiller¢d, Denmark


I choose this project because I find it very importent and exited to help others who do not have anything compare to us in the wealthy society where we can do what ever we want to be frank.
Therefore I find this a great way of helping those who are not in control of their own life special after the tsunami disaster.

I choosed this project to help others (maybe it sounds very macho) but if people need help I like to give a helping hand. I hope that this action will show the solidarity of a small country as Denmark to the country and society. This way I hope we can walk towards a good co-operativ future.

Place : Aarhus, Denmark


Why did I choose to participate on this project? I like the idea of preparation and practial process this is one of the main reason why I choosed it because it is very clear from start to end of this trip. it helps a lot because I already been on a trip like this through MS to India and Nepal in 2001. This time I dont doubt that we would make a big different on the society we are going to give our input too.

I am looking forward to the co-operative work with youth of sri lankans and make a positive cultural exhange, which is stabil from the beginning.

Why? Because this is a very unique experiance, exiting and a fun way to spend your summer vacation. If I can have all the ingridiants and same time helping people who dont have anything then there is no better way of spending your summer vacation then on this trip..

Place : Copenhagen, Denmark


I choosed this project because I find it a very interesting, challanging to meet people all around the world specially on a cultural exhange way but also at the same time be a part of something constructive. I hope this co-operation spirit will only grow to a solidarity between Denmark and Sri Lanka in the future.

I am looking forward to work together with sri lankans by this way showing that they are not forgotten.

I am looking forward to work together with the local volunteers because this is the first time I am going to participate on something very unique and that is to help others. I am sure it is going to be a very exited and productive weeks for both parts.
 
     
  Name : Kajendran Theivendram
Age: 25
Place : Holstebro, Denmark

Why did I choosed this project? Because I am born in Sri Lanka, where my roots are in Sri Lanka and I want to show the people, that I have not forgotten the country I 've born in. I was in Sri Lanka last december where all sri lankans youth from all over the world came to explore the country. We went to Mullaittivu the day after the tsunami hit the country and we end up helping the devasted coast of Mullaittivu so this is not something new for me but only happy that I get the chance to help my people on a trip with my fellow danish travellers.

I am looking forward to help the school which will benefit the children at the end but as we all know this help is only a drop of what is really needed there, so I hope this is only a start.

Place : Aalborg, Denmark

I choosed this project because of my interest for development projects in 3rd world countries thats why I choosed to be a part of in this summer vacation. This trip is impressive because we are going to work together with 18 of local young volunteers where we can learn the cultural and the sorrow after the tsunami. Second factor is to build a school, a symbolic co-operation which will give them a better look on their daily day.
