The growing public confidence and the goodwill in the Army was once again clearly evident in the number of philanthropists and donors forthcoming to build new homes for deserving Jaffna families at the request of the Security Force Headquarters - Jaffna (SFHQ-J) when Jaffna troops again on Monday (31) vested one more Army-built new house in one Mrs Thawarasa Kaveeda and her family in Pungudattivu.

The donor, Mr Vamadeva Thiyagendran of Jaffna, impressed with the technical expertise, dedicated work and manpower of Army troops provided raw materials at his cost for this worthy cause as a social service to the community after extending his support for the ongoing house construction project of the Army in the peninsula.

The simple house-warming ceremony, attended by Major General Senarath Bandara, Commander, Security Forces, Jaffna as the Chief Guest, together with the donor, Mr Vamadeva Thiyagendran, followed Hindu rites and rituals.
