Sri Lanka Mission of Hope 2011 (February 14th - March 14th, 2011) took me back to eastern Sri Lanka to partner with the Digamadulla Ampara YMCA to assist victims of the January 2011 floods in the Ampara District. During this mission, we provided food packages to flood victims, tools to flood victims who needed to get back to work so they could support their families, medical & First Aid supplies and First Aid/CPR training to more than 300 people.
The Ampara YMCA has a long history of helping the people of eastern Sri Lanka, and I have partnered with them in the past. Additional information about the Ampara YMCA can be found on their website (http://amparaymca.weebly.com/) and photos from the Mission of Hope 2011 project can be found on my Facebook photo album (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2111467&id=1416064703&l=8a05265ca9).

About Me
- Fred Breedlove
- I became involved in world missions in 2001, and led church mission teams to Mexico to build houses for the poor in 2002, 2003, and 2004. Following the tsunami that struck SE Asia on Dec 26, 2004, I went to eastern Sri Lanka where I helped tsunami victims during the months of March 2005 & June 2005, living & working with Muslims. After Hurricane Katrina struck the U.S. Gulf Coast, I went to Bay St Louis, MS to minister to hurricane victims in Oct 05, Nov 05, & April 06. My mission in 2007 was to open a Sewing Center for Tsunami widows and to help civil war victims in eastern Sri Lanka, working with local YMCAs in Kalmunai & Ampara (Digamadulla, New Town). In 2010, I joined forces with World Impact Network once again, traveling to Kenya to help teach leadership skills to local pastors and communities (see http://missionsofhope.weebly.com/index.html).
