Jerad and Rojan organise dry food rations for the three Kunchukulam villages. We thanks the many Bridging Lanka supporters in Australia and Singapore for funding these basic food items for families struggling as a result of Covid-19 curfews and lockdowns.

Our Kunchukulam Youth Village Development Committee is made up of a great bunch of young people who have been with us since the beginning. Their focus areas include helping other young people from three isolated villages develop career pathways in a place that has a 49% youth unemployment rate. The committee's attention is also turning to chronic kidney disease and how to save their loved ones from dying of this dreadful disease.

Our work to develop eco-tourism ventures with the youth of Kunchukulam continues. We hope the new Minister of Wildlife and Tourism, Hon John Amaratunga, will help us achieve our aim of protecting forests and wildlife , increase tourism to Mannar District and in turn increase job opportunities for Kunchukulam's youth in the new eco-tourism sector!
