Rev Nishante pictured here has just returned from training at the Asian Rural Institute on a World Mission Fund scholarship to be the director of New Life and is full of enthusiasm to rebuild the centre. There is an enormous need to offer vocational training to the young people here, there are no jobs and nothing to do but there is plenty of unused land, so courses in organic farming will soon be on offer to young people from both Sinhala and Tamil communities. There is a huge task of rebuilding but Rev Nishante is busy planning and brimming with ideas.
