Message from the National Director

Another year has gone by where World Vision can celebrate in reaching out to the most vulnerable children in Sri Lanka. Several eminent personalities joined the Board this year adding value to the Board and it’s process. The friendship and fellowship of the Board Members are some of the biggest strengths I enjoy.

I was moved by my visit to Delft Island, which is a one-hour ferry ride from Jaffna Peninsula. The children and their families don’t have clean water, which is a basic need. World Vision has reached out to 75 families in Delft, a task both impressive and joyful. The Members of the Board of Directors who are Passionate in fulfilling Our Promise 2030 have collectively undertaken a project to help the most vulnerable school children in Delft.

The field visits allowed me to closely engage with the Children and the staff of World Vision who are on the field. The respect and love that is commanded by the staff of World Vision is evident by the warm welcome and response the communities offer.

I thank Joyce Fong and David Purnell for their wise counsel and the unstinted support throughout this year. I thank my Members

of the Board who had been stalwarts in strengthening my hand.

At Board meetings my fellow Directors are impressed with the excellent presentations that demonstrate the progress made through the programs of World Vision. They are extremely conscious of the process and strategy. The stories of transformation, videos, testimonies presented to the Board make all of us feel so blessed to be a part of World Vision. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the staff of World Vision and their families for their selfless efforts in maintaining the core values in helping communities in Sri Lanka. The strength of World Vision remains in demonstrating the love of Christ and adhering to the Vision Statement on a daily basis;

“Our Vision for every child, life in all its fullness; Our prayer for every heart, the will to make it so.”

To God be the Glory!
