Visit to the flood hit friends in Gomarankadawela
08 - 11 February President Shelton Peiris with Dilanka (Youth leader) accompanied the visitors from Norway (2 delegates from Førde Folk High School) and China (youth) to Horowpathana. Although they wanted to go to G'kadawala it was not possible due to floods which has made roads impassable. We had to turn back at Horowpathana. However, we were able to witness the damage done by the floods. Houses damaged, cultivations destroyed, villages seperatedfrom the rest of the country, etc.. We handed over provisions worth Rs 54,000. to Rev. Piayarthana Thero of Horowpathana to be distributed among the victims. Earlier we delivered provisions to the value of Rs.32,000. to be districbuted among the Ottachchakulama victims through Rev. Sumanasara Thero of G'kadawala. We even assisted Thuraineelavanai YMCA with 50 school bags for their nursery kids (Rs.12,000.). In these efforts were supported by the NCY, Bronnoysund scouts and Asker scouts.
