The Tidal Wave Disaster Voluntary Relief Service jointly initiated by the Lake House and the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation is a great success. Of the massive brigade of volunteers 400 groups among whom there were physicians, technicians and many other professionals have already left for relief activities in the areas of Galle, Moratuwa, Meetiyagoda, Ambalangoda, Hikkaduwa, Trincomalee, Valachchenai, Beruwala, Habaraduwa, Kalutara, Peraliya, Telwatta, and Ampara. Further teams are due to leave today (03) for Ampara and Trincomalee. Volunteers call over in large numbers to join the joint Voluntary Relief Service launched by the Lake House and the SLBC. Non availability of adequate vehicles and the necessary data of needs required from affected areas are the major problems they confront, state the organizers of the Relief Service. They call upon those who can afford to provide transport to come forward. The working teams islandwide, that include Sports Clubs, Youth Organizations and Welfare Societies are expected to identify the urgent services needed in their respective areas and coordinate with District Secretaries and Divisional Secretaries to render the services as required. This is the long-term process the Lake House-SLBC Voluntary Relief Operations Secretariat has undertaken to handle. The Lake House-SLBC Voluntary Service Operations Centre calls upon volunteers to come forward and offer their services and labour to this noble task of rebuilding the country. The Centre can be contacted on Telephone Numbers 011-2429242, 5375847, 5375848, Fax Numbers: 2429600 and 5375844 or the same Telephone numbers. |
