Relief to Kantale

07 August 2006

Since there was an urgent requirement of relief items for internally displaced families who had moved out to Kantale in Trincomalee from Muttur, ADT took a decisive step to send relief items on humanitarian grounds.

1000 relief packs, each containing rice (5kg), sugar, dhal (1kg), tea (200g), a packet of milk powder, biscuits, matches and a candle were given to 1000 displaced families in order to assist there immediate requirement of food for 1 week.

In addition, we prepared 250 gift packs to distribute to the children among the displaced families.

We reached Kantale at around 11:00 pm. We visited two camps where there were about 5000 Muslim refugees. We then handed over the goods to “AL MASJIDUL ILAHIYA”. The personnel there undertook the distribution of these items and gratefully acknowledged our contribution saying “It is very useful and timely”. The displaced families were overwhelmed by the "generosity and human kindness" shown by ADT.
