Relief to Wennappuwa

13 December 2006

The community in Randiyagama, which is situated in the Puttalam District under the governance of the Wennappuwa Urban Council, suffered greatly due to the recent floods. Essential dry food rations were a major concern, as such, we intended to distribute these on 13 December 2006.

We selected 58 families who were in extreme need and who were not in a position to provide food for themselves. We prepared 58 packages containing rice, sugar, tea, soup, dhal, milk, candles and boxes of matches. Several community leaders, including four regional Gramasevka officers, the regional Justice of Peace and two Pastors from the regional churches were involved in the project.
