Wij zijn er nog steeds trots op dat elke gedoneerde cent zo goed en zo snel terecht gekomen is bij de mensen die hulp nodig hadden.

Het is dan extra aardig om van de Eerste Minister, die er later achter kwam wat er in zijn district gebeurd was, een brief te ontvangen.

Fazal Kamaldeen, die ter plaatse alles voor LIFHAS geregeld heeft, stuurde ons de volgende bedankbrief door van Mahinda Wijesekera, Member of Parliament van Sri Lanka. Hij maakte daarbij de volgende opmerking:

“…..I know from the beginning we didn’t have anything to do with government officials. Only reason he signed this letter as these Tsunami (with Lifhas donation) houses were built in his Matara electorate……..”

From: Mahinda Wijesekera, member of Parliament

TO: “Lifhas Organization, c/o Mr. Hubert Jongen,

“First of all I would like to thank you for kind donation of building materials of Rs. 250.000 “which was sufficient for the construction of 13 houses.

“I take this opportunity to thank Lifhas organization for its contribution towards the Tsunami victims of Sri Lanka. I am pleased to give below the 13 recipients of the building materials donated by your organization.

“(H.J.: hier volgen de 13 namen en adressen)

“These buildings were constructed on the same foundations of the original damaged houses.

“I once again thank you on behalf of the Mayor and its members of the council and the victims of the Tsunami and also kindly request you to grant more donation in the future as there are many more families in need of these materials.

“Thanking you,

“Mahinda Wijesekera, Member of Parliament.
