Rotary visit to Sri Lanka
Only two weeks to go until a team of Rotarians will be jetting off to Sri Lanka, the visit was initially for the opening of the new "Yorkshire School" but due to construction delays and the fragile conflict situation in the Tamil areas this is now unlikely. The team will however visit other completed schools and discuss how we can give continued support with the teachers of the KSV school and the local Education Department.
The Sri Lankan Government will take over responsibility for the maintenance and running of the school once the building works are complete.
