ALNWICK ROTARIANS VISIT TO SRI LANKA JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014

MAPALAGAMA FOUNDATION STONE ELAINE SPEECHThe President of Alnwick Rotary Club, Elaine Smith, and her husband Rotarian Graham Smith spent two weeks in Sri Lanka in January and early February 2014. They visited the Rotary Club of Colombo Mid-City which is one of our main partners in Sri Lanka and enjoyed home hospitality provided by Rotarian Hiran and his family. They met some of the local children we are sponsoring in Weligama. The highlight of their visit was the ceremonial ‘laying of the foundation stones’ of the Primary School to be built in Mapalagama, funded by Rotarians of the north east of England together with Project Sri Lanka (see the Mapalagama village page of the website).
