Arabella's Diary

Friday 4 March 2005

Map of Sri Lanka showing tsunami statistics This Mini-Tour of Sri Lanka 5-29 March is being undertaken by Arabella Churchill, the Director of Children’s World and Children’s World International and a performer as a precursor to a far larger 4-person, 4-month Performance, Workshop and Play Tour September-December 2005.
