SOS Children's Village Galle 2 - SOS Children's Villages Sri Lanka

Overview

The third SOS Children’s Village is situated outside the town limits of Galle (110 km from Colombo) on 3.5 acres of land in Mampitiya. Galle is the main town of the southern region of Sri Lanka. The Village is 4 km from the Galle town.

SOS Families of Galle moved into their new family homes in 1992. The Village Community consists of 12 Families. Today, 103 children who are the second generation for SOS Children Village Galle are living in the SOS family.

SOS Family Galle was fortunate not to be affected by the Tsunami disaster in 2004 although situated somewhat closer to the sea. In fact they were the ones who were first to provide cooked meals and refreshments to the many children and adults who were housed in a neighbouring school after having lost their homes and families in the Boxing Day disaster.

Life in the Village

If it's study time, children have one request, and that is to make it group studies.

In the Galle Children's Village, children love studying all sort of things, most of all cooking.

Evening time is play time, at the Children's Village Galle.

Children are seen here rehearsing a folk dance for an upcoming competition.

Kittens in the village are an integral part of their family, no day goes without children petting them.
