This project was launched to help our brave soldiers who literally gave an arm and a leg to protect us and our Mother Land from the terrible grips of terrorism.
We are a privileged lot to be living in a relatively peaceful and war free zone not having to fear bombs, mortars or Anti Personal Mines. We don't have to worry about
leaving our loved ones behind and carry guns and march to our death to protect our Mother Land and fellow Sri Lankans from an enemy so terrible. The least we can
do is help them out in anyway we can to show them that we appreciate every drop of blood they have shed for our safety and protection.
And as the war against terrorism is gaining momentum and we are celebrating repeated victories we must not forget that the price tag on it is
very high and include many sacrificed lives, lost limbs, Displaced persons, and much more.
While we pay tribute to those brave soldiers who lay down their lives in the name of SRI LANKA now it is time for us to help those who have
emerged handicapped in many ways in their quest to protect us.
