Sincere donation for the war heroes in Ranaviru Sevana

Chairperson of the MoD Seva Vanitha Unit (SVU) Mrs. Ioma Rajapaksa participated as the chief guest at a ceremony held to distribute artificial limbs and shoes to the war heroes at Ranaviru Sevena in Ragama today (18th February). 

50 war heroes were presented with artificial limbs and shoes during the ceremony. The well-known local artist Mr. Kanchana Kodithuwakku together with his spouse Mrs. Shanika Perera had made donation for the benefit of disabled war heroes who had been wounded during humanitarian operations.

The Ranaviru Sevana was established by the Ministry of Defence to assist the physically challenged tri forces personnel who sacrificed their limbs and, in some cases their eyesight and even their mental well being in the pursuit of the peace in our Motherland.

Chancellor of the Kotelawala Defence University (KDU) Gen (Retd) Rohan Daluwaththa, Commandant of Ranaviru Sevena Brig. Peramunagamage, Commanding officer of the Ranaviru Sevena Lt. Colonel Ranasinghe, members of the MOD SVU, officials of the Ranaviru Sevena, a large number of war heroes and family members of the donors were also present at the occasion.
