West Troops Mark Elders’ Day with a Difference

Troops of the Security Force Headquarters - West (SFHQ-West) to coincide with the ‘World Elders’ Day’ went to Wilbert Perera Elders’ Home in Karathota on Monday (1) and made the inmates more comfortable and happy in a different humane treatment after attending to their needs and facilities.

Following a directive of the Commander, Security Forces - West, Major General Sathyapriya Liyanage, troops shaved and bathed those elders before they were entertained to a tasty lunch and music, provided by troops. They also cleaned up the surroundings and made the environment neat and tidy while attending to minor repairs inside the building.

Towards the end of the programme, gift parcels were also distributed among the inmates.

Brigadier General Staff, SFHQ-West, Brigadier J Thanthiriwatta on behalf of the Commander SF-West attended the programme with several officers. bridgemedia | Sneakers
