RID 3232 gifts TV sets to Sri Lankan refugee camps

Following a request from the Commissionerate of Refugee Welfare, RID 3232 donated 109 TV sets to 102 Sri Lankan refugee camps to help the children access online education on the government’s Kalvi channel. Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin presented the TV sets to the camp representatives.
The Vignette section was a great read. I found the initiative on Sri Lanka truly fantastic. This shows how subtly Rotary can impact the lives of people. Great to know about PDG Krishnan Chari’s recognition. Rotary News is a respectable and extremely responsible assignment. Managing this for so many years only talks about one’s commitment to excellence.
