Tangelle Primary, in Sri Lanakan President Mahinda Rajapakse's home district of Hambantota, was one of the three upgraded and refurbished schools in the island's southern province that was inaugurated by visiting Foreign Minister George Yeo yesterday...
... Singaporeans from all races, religions and walks of life contributed ot the Red Cross Society's Tidal Waves Asia Fund. Combined with funds from the Singapore Government, the total project cost for the three schools came to S$5.6million.
Thanks to that effort, some 6,400 students in Hambantota, Galle and Matare are poised to benefit every year. In addition, Singapore's Popular Bookstore will soon deliver various quantities of roller ink pens, school bags and stationery as a donation.
