The Village of Hope was the largest project undertaken by the Pattakannu Foundation which has provided an array of amenities from a small hospital to a nursery for the orphaned children affected by the Tsunami and the war, looked after by widowed mothers who were trained.
Currently 10 large houses, a large administration unit, a canteen, a co-operative store, a fully large equipped hall, two vocational centers are to be implemented soon. All the children are sent to school gaining access to the computer lab while being sheltered in fully furnished houses with the security of a home and the love of a mother.
The Village of Hope has been hailed as one of the best post Tsunami projects in the Batticaloa district.
