A Bodhi Pooja conducted by them invoked blessings on the President and all Sri Lankans for two days (Oct 1 – Oct 2). The same team with a sponsorship extended by Mrs Gunaratne and her Japanese friends, distributed school exercise books free of charge among 226 students at Kadawathamaduwa Primary School.

Meanwhile, 8 Sri Lanka National Guard (SLNG) troops under 232 Brigade of 23 Division extended their support to drought-affected Madupulthottam villagers in Thoppigala by providing their water bowser for supply of drinking water.
