Global Crossroad volunteers make a lasting difference!

For countless families of Sri Lanka’s fishermen, the Dec. 26 tsunami was a nightmare. This disaster brought unimaginable pain and suffering, washing away loved ones, homes, belongings, and hope for the future for many families. Today, thousands of these destitute families still live in tents. In response to the overwhelming request of so many around the world, Global Crossroad began its unique Tsunami Reconstruction Project, allowing international volunteers the opportunity to participate first-hand in the enormous rebuilding project. Finally, the hard work, time, compassion, and resources of so many selfless volunteers worldwide have reaped benefits for local Sri Lankan fishermen and their families. We have the pleasure of welcoming these hope-filled families to their new homes. Here are some glimpses directly from the field.
