St Mary's Village School is a one story large classroom which serves to educate the children from the fishing village and slightly further afield. It is the building to which the fishermen and their families were evacuated directly after the Tsunami.

Since 2005, The Friends of Della and Don have fed the children every day, supplied, books, writing materials, shoes and uniforms. A playground was also build on adjacent ground and a school library opened on the first anniversary of the Tsunami.   The aim is to extend our support by offering scholarships to exceptional children who would benefit from further education. 

Many donors have helped with this project which is enormously important to us. Friends of Della and Don have been exceptionally fortunate to have had the help of the Village School in Belsize Park, London who have funded the school lunches as well as uniforms. They also donated the money for the playground and library.
