Start van PWER TOURS

Reizen verbindt mensen — dat is altijd ons geloof geweest. Na jarenlange ervaring in de reiswereld zagen we hoe groot de impact kan zijn van een goed georganiseerde, persoonlijke reis. We wilden méér bieden dan alleen een standaard excursie. Daarom zijn we Pwer Tours begonnen: om mensen samen te brengen, om bijzondere plekken te laten zien, en om onvergetelijke herinneringen te creëren. 

Bij Pwer Tours draait alles om kracht — de kracht van avontuur, de kracht van verbinding en de kracht van verhalen delen. We nemen onze reizigers mee op unieke routes, weg van de gebaande paden, altijd met oog voor cultuur, natuur en respect voor de lokale gemeenschap. 

Wat begon met een droom en een passie is uitgegroeid tot een professioneel team dat met liefde en aandacht elke reis verzorgt. Wij geloven dat reizen niet alleen een bestemming is, maar een beleving die je rijker maakt. En daar zetten wij ons elke dag opnieuw voor in.

Every life deserves love

Rescue, nurture and rehabilitate

Dear animal lovers and compassionate individuals. We are excited to present the MH Foundation, an initiative dedicated to making a difference in the lives of stray dogs and horses on the beautiful island of Sri Lanka. We believe that every life deserves love, care, and protection, and we invite you to join us on this meaningful journey.

In Sri Lanka, countless stray dogs roam the streets, facing hunger, disease, and neglect. These innocent beings deserve a chance at a better life. Our primary focus is to rescue, nurture, and rehabilitate these stray dogs. By providing them with the care they desperately need, including nourishment, medical treatment, sterilization, and shelter, we can ensure their well-being and give them a second chance.

School Project at Dombasgaswinna Sabaragamuwa

On Wednesday, October 16th, 2024, the MH-Foundation visited Dombasgaswinna School, bringing joy and valuable lessons to the children. Despite the recent inclement weather, we seized a brief opportunity to engage with the students, holding an exciting coloring contest focused on educating them about safely interacting with the many stray dogs found throughout Sri Lanka.

With the incredible support of Mr. Sheahan Arasaratnam and Mr. Himash Malaka, our loyal veterinarian Dr. Chamila from PetVet, was on hand to share important knowledge in Sinhalese, ensuring that the children understood how to act around these animals. We are thrilled to be collaborating with cartoonist Sabine Grootes (@sabine_illustreert) to create engaging coloring pages that convey essential messages about dog safety.

In addition to the educational activities, we provided each student with two sets of undergarments and an umbrella, making sure to support the teachers as well. This generosity reflects our commitment to the well-being of the entire school community.

Originally scheduled for October 14th, the event was postponed due to travel warnings from local authorities. However, we were determined to proceed when the weather improved, and we are grateful for the efforts of everyone involved, including school principal Mr. Pradeep Priyantha, the dedicated teachers, and the supportive parents.

The MH-Foundation’s initiatives are made possible through the financial contributions of our supporters. It is vital to understand that without vaccinating stray animals against rabies and spaying them to control the population, we cannot effectively address the challenges posed by stray dogs. Our discussions with various municipal commissioners over the past few months have laid the groundwork for future projects aimed at education and animal welfare.
