MKK first offered assistance to the people of Beruwala back in 2004,
following the devastating tsunami, on the initiative of then District
Administrator, Karl Eyerkaufer.
Since that time, MKK has supported multiple projects in Beruwala
through public funds and private donors, such as the construction of
schools and a kindergarten, the establishment of a dental clinic and the
support for the orphanage “Mama und Papa “ (Mum and Dad) for children
with disabilities.
The town twinning agreement marks yet another milestone in the
relations between MKK and Beruwala.
A delegation from MKK, including the new District Administrator,
Erich Pipa and his predecessor, Eyerkaufer, travelled to Beruwala for
the signing ceremony, receiving a warm welcome from Mayor Milfar Caffoor.
German Ambassador Dr. Juergen Morhard also participated in the event.
Pipa expressed the hope that the agreement will mark the starting
point for a fruitful and enriching exchange bringing together students,
athletes, artists and musicians from both MKK and Beruwala and that both
regions will benefit greatly from this partnership. |
