SRI LANKA. The Middle East Duty Free Association has reinforced its support for the Alpha tsunami disaster relief project by making a donation of US$25,000 to the trust fund today.
Started to help 20 families whose homes were destroyed by the disaster, the project is progressing well – with the families likely to move into their new homes before Christmas.

They make regular contributions to this project. Words just aren’t enough to thank people like Colm and his team.”
