** We wish to inform all our donors that there has been an unavoidable delay in completing this project, due to the political situation prevalant in the North and East, which has caused great unrest and tension in these areas. The Constractors are working under very difficult circumstances having to contend with constant threats from the LTTE cardars and harassment (on account of constant check ups) from the Army Personnel as well. Our contractors are the only contractors left in the East, as all others have left due to the situation.

As things are we have fixed the following deadlines:

· 31st May 2006 – 30 Houses Complete;
· 30th June 2006 – An aggregate of 52 Houses Complete;
· 30th August 2006 – All 72 Houses Complete

Once we have completed 30 houses as mentioned above, we hope to settle the first batch of Recipients in them, to help alleviate some of the tension in the area. We hope and pray that with the Grace of God, that we may be able to successfully complete this project and hand the completed houses over to our much deserved and patient recipients.
