Welcome to Camp Coconut
Camp Coconut is a children's activity day centre which is planned to be located 2-3 kms inland from the devastated coastal strip of southern Sri Lanka.
It is a humanitarian response to the devastation that has affected large tracts of coastal area in the District of Galle, Sri Lanka, following in the wake of the Tsunami that hit this beautiful island at c. 9.00am on Sunday, 26th December, 2004.
It is a project that aims to help the regeneration and 'normalisation' process that , over the next few months and years, will be vital to the re-establishment of the fishing communities in this part of the island.
It will centre upon providing a safe haven where children and their families can come and have fun, learn new skills and receive the appropriate counselling to overcome their trauma, deep-rooted fears and anxieties. It will also focus on supporting minority groups such as pregnant mothers, orphans and one-parent children (most notably, those who have lost their mothers) who, since the Tsunami, have been without the normal community support infrastructure.
