The day we heard about the name covid-19 it was not necessary for us to explain what the effects of the virus are. As we all are witnessing and experiencing the situations that have happened and happening.
We Claretian sisters in Kotapitiya and Koswatta community received a donation from KORIMA to help the poor people who were struggling to sustain their basic needs, especially food due to lockdown all over the nation. Coming to know the most needy ones in the parishes both in Kotapitiya and Koswatta, we were able to distribute them dry rations to fill up their hunger for a week; in addition we offered some fresh vegetables from our home garden. At first we invited some people in need who came and received their due in our community and then on other days we visited some other poor areas and shared the benefit.
All expressed their gratitude for the timely help they received from the sisters. There are still many who are in need and we hope that in the future too similar help will be granted.
Our sincere thanks to KORIMA whose generosity through which the Claretianas in Sri Lanka could show our solidarity with the real needy.
Thank you KORIMA IT WAS GREAT HELP.
