The Catholic Students of the Newman Society of the University of Peradeniya conducted its Seventh Charity Project and celebrated the Holy Eucharist at St Joseph’s Church in Gampola, with the participation of the members of the Newman Society,in donating the dry rations packages for the affected families of the Ditwah Cyclone and floods recently.
Though the student’s body cancelled the Christmas Carol Service earlier, they decided together with their University Chaplain Fr Ruwan Perera OMI to share their resources with a limited number of the affected families of all faiths in Gampola. The dry rations packages were worth Rs 500,000.
They thank Rev Fr Ivon Jayasundara, Rev sisters, all well-wishes, and the Students’ Committee for the support extended to this cause.
