The generosity from our Australian friends never ceases to amaze the villagers of the Seenigama region. More than 100,000 Sri Lankans live in Victoria, Australia, and when the tsunami struck, it hit hard all the way across the globe. In recognition of its Sri Lankan inhabitants, the Victorian Government decided to provide substantial assistance for housing in the Seenigama.Thanks to their support, Seenigama will be home to a fantastic new housing scheme, Victoria Gardens. The scheme comprises double story duplex homes complete with modern amenities, essential household items, running water, electricity, reticulated sewerage, underground drainage, paved roads, a community centre, a children’s playground and much more. Construction on the project commenced in May 2006 and, despite heavy rainfall delaying progress, is due to be completed some time in 2007. The Foundation is delighted to be working with the Victorian State Government to implement this project which is the biggest of this kind in the village. Back |
