About Wahakotte:
This Girls Home is located north of Matale and south of Dambulla in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. Weither you come from the east or the west, the last 5 km of the journey is like driving through the mountains of Austria. Corner after corner until you see a church and some small stores. Behind the church is this children's home of the Good Shepherd convents.
At this moment 3 sisters take care of the 35 children. Usually the sisters stay in the homes for around 3 years. 29 girls have a sponsor in the Netherlands and the other children are being sustained by their own families. Most of the children in this home are there through the probation office and suffer from serious trauma's.
The Ayubowan Foundation has also helped this home with new bathroom's, a washing room, a wall around the convent and a new well. Thanks to some generous sponsors this has been made possible.
With thanks to some extra donations of the writing parents in the Netherlands every year it is possible for our contactpersons to do something extra for the children. We are very pleased to let you that these girls are learning to enjoy life more and more.
