About 'Rana Viru Sevana' in Ragama, Sri Lanka (Brief intro):

A dedicated facility to look after the rehabilitation of soldiers. 3 wards with over 100 disabled soldiers who are looked after on a daily basis. They enjoy meeting the public that like to have a chat with them and also give a smile with an entertainment act. A small act from public can go a long way to bring happiness to these brave souls who had given their all to the well being of our country.

Official Website - http://ranavirumeetup.org

In addition to the item donations, it is possible to allocate time to give them a few entertainment acts (few songs, dances, magic acts etc...) to put a smile on their faces. Time will also be available in the visit to personally talk to them and hear their stories from the war that we have only heard or read in papers.

What is needed from public:

After a brief visit there, we realised that they do not accept cash donations. Instead a Major there instructed us that the following items can be donated:
- Wheel chairs
- Elbow Clutches (Comfort brand)
- Ceiling fans
- Stationary items (A4, A3, notepads etc..)
- LQ 2090 ribbons (for printer)
