NZ-based Ex-Servicemen Build New Home for Visually-impaired GW War Hero

Thanks to sponsorship provided to the Denzil Kobbekaduwa Trust by the New Zeland-based Ex-servicemen’s Association of Sri Lanka, 6 Gemunu Watch (GW) troops constructed a new house to a differently able and visually- impaired GW War Hero and vested it in him on 24 September.

The house, worth about Rs 1.6 million was constructed in Induruwa on a plot of land belonging to the recipient. The War Hero lost his vision completely following an LTTE mortar blast injury during the Humanitarian Operations.

Mrs Lali Kobbekaduwa graced the event as the Chief Guest and warmed the new house, together with the beneficiary and his family members.

Major General Chula Abeynayake, Colonel of the Regiment GW and Commander, Security Forces West, Colonel (retd) Sunil Peiris, Mrs Awanthi Abeynayake, Chairperson, GW-Seva Vanitha Unit, senior officers, officers and relatives of the recipient attended the house-warming ceremony. jordan Sneakers | Nike Releases, Launch Links & Raffles
