The entire construction was carried out by Sri Lanka Engineers serving the mission in Haiti on the instructions of the SRIBAT Commanding Officer Colonel A M R Dharmasiri. The open theatre with a permanent screen, fixed was inaugurated after lighting the traditional oil lamp as both officers and other ranks burst into applause.
Meanwhile, Sri Lankan troops conducted one more medical clinic on 10th August 2010 for the benefit of refugees, housed at ‘Le refugees opphellins Martissant and Bizoton 51 in Killik, Haiti’ (centre for refugees).
