Project Sri Lanka ... Gandarawatte ... part 5 of 14

The community building in Gandarawatte in use. I wanted to film more of the work going on in Gandarawatte and also to film the other work the Gandarawatte team were doing in other villages. Unfortunately we were so busy in Pelena West (and with occasional visits to Ahangama) that we just didn't have time to go to Gandarawatte for more than about half an hour. So here all you really get to see is the volunteers in Gandarawatte talking a bit about what they were doing in the village.

For more information, see the other parts of this documentary.

Project Sri Lanka is an all-inclusive' project. It brings together Durham University students and staff with community and regional partners in activities which aim to assist with both the reconstruction and regeneration of tsunami devastated communities in Southern Sri Lanka and also with the long term sustainable development of both coastal and inland villages. It is grounded in humanitarian objectives. It has students and young people at the heart of it. It is underpinned by academic research and teaching in a wide range of disciplines which have relevance to understanding natural disasters and dealing with the effects of human tragedy.
