Message from the Web Success Team
The Web Success Team is proud to manage the SCAO site. We visited Mr. Samith and the children in March 2009. After being there for only a few hours we were inspired to do whatever we could to help this wonderful man in his efforts to give these children an education, a home and hopes of a better future. We wish him all the best and hope that this website will inspire more people to help.

Alison graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a degree in Environmental Studies. Her keen interest in the environment sent her abroad to Australia where she studied Environmental Biology and she got the opportunity to visit New Zealand as well. Her travels did not stop there as she decided to go on a backpacking trip after college. She spent five months backpacking throughout South East Asia where she pursued travel photography and also got the opportunity to volunteer at SCAO.
