With money given by the Canadian government to NPC through its Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CLFI), Nuwara Eliya DIRC donated Rs. 64,000 worth of dry rations to two children’s homes and two elders’ homes.
Rev. J.A. Isha, head of the Martha Children’s Home said, “There are 32 children living in our home. We usually depend on donations from various well-wishers to feed our children. Because of the situation we do not receive them anymore and have many difficulties trying to find food for our children. We have not received any relief from any organization, so we are grateful to Nuwara Eliya DIRC for selecting us and for NPC and the Canadian donor for the dry food rations.”
