2008 is a very succesfuly year for TCR Kindergarten. TCR management would like to thank Realmedicine Foundation(R. M. F), Dr. Martina Fuchs for the financial contribution to pay the salary of our 3 preschool teachers for the year 2008.
TCR has a long term relationship with RMF. RMF has provided funds to build and renovate our preschool playground in year 2006. It has helped to make a safe and better environment for children.
Now TCR is able to support 21 young children in our preschool by providing basic preschool education and healthy organic breakfast with all the stationaries and uniforms they need.
This is the Arts & Craft exhibition of our kids. It was a fantastic moment both for the children and their parents. There were also visitors from outside and some children from nearby school.

2007 was a very successful year. Many functions and occations were organized. There were also several visitors we had in this year. It is already two years after tsunami and by the last two years, Tangalle Children Relay could improve it's quality by several folds. Now the teachers are well trained and everything up to standered. TCR management did it's best to uplift the standered of our Preschool and to give a better service to the surround community.
YEAR 2006
January 2006, we moved to an other home.
Miss. Claudia visited our new home again in 2006 March. She always wanted to be with the kids and to tell them the stories.
The ground was not a comfortable surface for the kids and they only rolled on the mettresses to play.
New Home gave enough space for playing, learning and eating for every child.
Her most naughty girl Rashmi was always in her hand
YEAR 2005
Our kids at Tangalle after Tsunami (2005 May)
By the time Tsunami hit Tangalle, our organization did not exist. But immediately after we realized the need of care for children under school age, those were living in temporary orphanages. Then we informed our beloved friends who felt sympathetic of the tragedy, about our need to create a place like day care centre, that these kids could be protected and cared.
At our fortune, Miss. Claudia Nikodom and Miss. Antonia Schweir offered to help us to establish a center for need children. At the same time Miss. Antonia Schweir offered to visit Tangalle to see the situation her own. By seen all the disasters herself, immediately decided to open a centre for children.
We could rent a home and employ 2 ladies, who are tsunami victims and the house owner (Lady) that will take care of 9 children. Many of those children were either parentless or displaced.
The very first day the kids came to the kindergarten on 09th of May 2005. They were given pencils and drawing papers free. Some snacks and a cup of Milk tea were also given as a short breakfast. There were no toys, desks or tables at the beginning. They had to sit on the ground, with the mats given from some NGOs for the tsunami affected families in the village.
The kids are having their first exercise.
Enjoying an Apple for their break fast.
The day Miss. Claudia Nikodin visited our former Kindergarten at a temporary home near Tangalle town. The kids got new gowns and toys.
