Kandy News and Lions Club of Senkadagala Join in Livelihood Restoration Helping the Karunadasa family from Matara
Karunadasa lost a lot to the tsunami - two of his four children, his house and the tools and equipment that he had to make jewelry and sell to earn a living. Through the Tsunami Assistance Project we purchased equipment worth about $1000 for him to start his jewelry making which will earn him about $150 a month. The picture shows the handing over of the equipment to Mr. Karunadasa by Sister Sandamalee, Principal of St. Mary's Convent. His wife, daughter and Mrs. Sakunthala Gregory of St. Mary's who coordinated the project are also in the picture.
