Work together for OISCA and nation - Prelate

It is natural for heated arguments to arise among laymen, but these should be forgotten to work together for the betterment of the nation and OISCA, said Ven. Karagaswewa Sumanaratne Thera at the AGM of the Sri Lanka Chapter of OISCA International (Japan) at the Subodhi Institute Piliyandala.

He said that aims and objectives of all of us as far as OISCA is concerned, should be one and should all work as one. It is possible for expansion and development only if the branches work hand in hand with the main office.

New president Nayanaratna Weerasekera said, "I was elected to the office of the president of the Sri Lanka chapter unexpectedly. I vow to do my best for OISCA and the principles it stands for.

I think it is necessary to have the main office in a rural area as our services are centred around these areas. I fully agree with Ms. Riyuki Sato the Japanese coordinator on the matter. All office bearers should represent his branch and it is unethical to represent another branch.
