Relief Delivered To Vavuniya Hospital

Posted on April 5, 2009

Just returned from delivering relief to Vavuniya Hospital. A great thanks to the kind donors as well as the Ministry and military officials and staff who made this possible. A special thanks to our military escorts for this and their continued service to Sri Lanka and all Sri Lankans.

The Action and Trust team is clean, fed and safe with their families, which many people we’ve met will not be, for years. The government staff and volunteers are doing a remarkable job of running the Vavuniya Hospital under immense presssure. They and many other hospitals can use continued support.

Will write a fuller report after some rest. It is something, even when it feels like not nearly enough. Thank you for your support and please extend your thoughts, metta and prayers to those that continue to suffer tonight.
