Jaffna Family Donates Educational Kits to Security Forces for Distribution to School Children Affected in South by Cyclone Ditwa

In a most heart touching act of humanity sparked by a child's empathy, a family from the Jaffna region has come forward to support the education of children displaced by Cyclone Ditwa. Acting on the thoughtful initiative of their son, Mr. S Thirumavan and his family members donated school equipment valued at Rs 30,000 to the Jaffna Security Forces on December 10, 2025.

The donation, intended to aid the educational continuity of children from families rendered homeless by the recent cyclone, includes essential supplies such as books and stationery. The family explicitly entrusted the Security Forces with the task of distributing these materials to ensure they reach the most affected students in the South.

This gesture underscores the profound level of trust and confidence the Tamil community in Jaffna continues to place in the Sri Lanka Army. By choosing the Jaffna Security Forces as the conduit for their aid, the family has reinforced the military's role as a pivotal and trusted institution in post-disaster civilian relief and community welfare.

The Army actively engaged in ongoing relief and rehabilitation operations following Cyclone Ditwa, will coordinate the distribution of these supplies. Their established ground-level presence enables them to effectively identify and assist the most vulnerable families, ensuring that the donation directly supports the educational needs of displaced children.

The event highlights a powerful narrative of civilian-led compassion facilitated by military logistics-a synergy that is becoming increasingly vital for community resilience in the face of natural disasters in Northern Sri Lanka. It stands as a testament to how individual acts of kindness, inspired by the young, can strengthen communal bonds and foster collaborative recovery.
