Situated in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is an exquisite tropical island with a rich seafaring and fishing heritage.
Although times have been hard, to assist the islanders after the 2004 Tsunami, the Building A Future Foundation (BAFF) was created to help get people back on their feet. Rather than gift boats, it was decided to assist the Sri Lankan people in designing and making their own craft and providing a foundation to train local boat builders working to international standards.
