The guest speaker this year was Dilanee Bunter founder of Ocean Stars a Charity which was started following the Boxing Day Tsunami in Sri Lanka in 2004. Dilanee spoke at length about the work of the Charity and how, from scratch, it has established many nursery schools on the west coast to support those children left orphaned by the disaster.
