Relief to Vavuniya

5 October 2006

The closure of the A9 road on 11 August 2006 has resulted in many people being forced to take refuge in churches and schools in Vavuniya. They are faced with a shortage of food and other essential items. Furthermore, many children attend school in Vaviiya temporarily.

ADT was able to provide dry rations to 185 families and school bags with exercise books to 450 children in eight schools.

“Thank you very much. This is of great help to us because we are at a very critical stage where we are unable to do anything. Our children were suffering without food” said a father. 

“I wish to thank you immensely for this school bag and these books. I had a bag back home but I had to leave it behind. Now I’m really happy” said a schoolgirl.
