POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT IN NORTHERN SRI
LANKA
At a time when there is turmoil
in the Middle East, it was heartening to learn about positive development in Northern
Sri Lanka. Pratyangira Trust, Vaddukoddai,
under the able leadership of Mr Thilagadas
Chandrapal, organised a rally to raise the consciousness of the civil society,
about corruption, suicides, and other influences that lead young ones to disorderly
behaviour. The trust has strong support of the Tamil diaspora, including in
Australia.
The rally commenced at Jaffna
College, Vaddukoddai and proceeded to the temple of Mother Pratyangira’s temple at Sangarathai junction.
There
is a strong need for social upliftment in areas affected not only by war, but
caste-based discrimination over a long period. Some of the work of the trust is
in Thunaivi also. Work is now underway, to build a new home for
the family that lives in this hut:
We commend highly the
service provided by Mr Chandrapal and his team.
