Ex-Army women expand wings
by Ramani Kangaraarchchi
Ex-Army Womens' Association expanded its wings for the benefit of
their retired members living in Anuradhapura district by establishing a
branch with the assistance of 4th Regiment of Army Womens Corps in
Madawachchiya recently.
A team headed by President Army Seva Vanitha Unit Sonia Kottegoda
including President Ex Army Womens' Association Captain Victoria Lakshmi
visited all the retired and the serving members gathered at
Madawachchiya Army Camp discussed their problems and shared their
experiences with other members.
A Committee was appointed from the retired members and a serving
member living in Anuradhapura to co-ordinate matters with the
association in the future. A number of copies from the novel "Private
Devi" were handed over to the committee to raise funds for their
administration.
Captain Victoria Lakshmi appreciating the support giving by Army Seva
Vanitha Unit and the Commanding Officer Madawachchiya Army Camp said
that the extending our support to the members living far away from
Colombo who are unable to stay in touch with the association was a long
felt need and it became a reality because of the Army Seva Vanitha Unit.
She hoped to take these benefits to the members in other districts such
as Kandy, Kurunegala and Matara where a large number of ex-Army women
reside. |
