Feeding 30 Families


I visited a place on the South Coast called Peraliya, near to Hikkadua. This is the worst affected area. The only other area in Sri Lanka to have been hit harder was the East Coast. I visited many families living in wooden shacks and after speaking with them it was clear that there was a need for food. We went to town, hired a trailer and delivered food parcels to 30 families all with children. The parcels contained rice, sugar, tea, dried fish, dried milk, vegetables and soap.
