A GREAT SOCIAL SERVICE ...

 

          Our youth club did a great service by helping the flood victims in the Kegalle district..

          We saw their pathetic situation through the newspapers. Also we came to know through the electronic media about the great damages caused to their lives and properties.

           At the monthly meeting of our youth club, it was unanimously decided to draw up a programme to help the flood victims. We went from house to house collecting the donation. We gave a wide publicity for this purpose.

          We collected dry rations, clothes, medicine and money. Almost all the residents in our area contributed generously in cash or kind.

          We hired a lorry and transported the goods to Kegalle. When we visited the flood affected area, we were able to see the actual destruction coused by the floods.

            We distributed the parcels among the flood victims. They shed tears while accepting our donation.

They appreciated our generosity very much.
