‘Wana Arana Foundation’ Joins This Year's Army New Year Festival in Sri Pura

The forthcoming National New Year festival of the Army, 'Wana Aranaka Avurudu Udawa' will take place in rural Sri Pura village, Padaviya, based on the age-old concept, ‘Wewai Daagebai - Gamai Pansalai’ (Lake and Pagoda-Village and Temple) at the request of the 'Wana Arana Foundation', following instructions given by the Commander of the Army Lieutenant General Mahesh Senanayake after a team of the Foundation met him recently at the Commander's office and sought the Army assistance.

The New Year festival is to coincide with the Commander's ongoing 'Wewu Seeyak' renovation project, undertaken by the Army as a mammoth leap to boost the national development programmes of the Presidential Task Force and the government.

A team of the' Wana Arana Foundation' recently conducted a ground visit to the proposed site at Padaviya and met with Senior Officers in the closest Army camp. The Army will closely liaise with the team and expects to make it a huge success in the forthcoming April.Running sport media | Footwear
