VISIT OF JOY PALMER COOPER TO SRI LANKA JULY 2015

SRI SUMANGALA PRESENTATION TO JOY FOR MOIRAThe Chair of the Trustees had a most interesting and worthwhile visit to Sri Lanka in July 2015 when one of her substantial tasks was declaring open the Charity’s 7th agro-drinking well in the village of Walaskema and meeting villagers in four further drought affected locations to assess their water needs. She also met with Rotarians from 5 Rotary Clubs in the city of Colombo to discuss potential future projects in the fields of sanitation, water supply and health.

Another very important task was the setting up of personal bank accounts for children the Charity supports who were not accustomed to banking.

Joy presented items of mobility equipment to the officers of the Centre for Handicapped in Kandy and an extensive collection of books and sewing materials to the Principal and staff of Sri Sumangala Girls’ College in Weligama. Further details of all of these activities will be found on the relevant village activities pages of this website.
