Lanka Mission in Kuwait assists children with special needs

As exclusively reported by the SRI TV news channel last week, the Sri Lankan Embassy staff together with the members of the Seva Vanitha Unit have extended a generous donation of Rs. 100,000 towards helping a girl of 16 years in Gampaha to have a surgery for her hunchback (deformed back).

The girl who was born with a curvature of the spine (hunchback) made an appearance recently over the “Live @ 7 – Praja Sathkaraya” programme which features “people with special disabilities & special needs”

In response to her appeal for funds from donors, the Embassy staff and Seva Vanitha Unit made the donation of Rs. 100,000 out of proceeds generated at the “Sri Lanka Day” held on 4th December 2009 in aid of children’s charities.

The Embassy is looking forward to helping such children and adults with special needs in future enabling them to lead a normal life.
