"Our country needs more and more goodwill gestures now as peace is being gradually restored and, Sri Lankan expatriates in other countries can return here without any fear and doubt and help to rehabilitate the devastated motherland," Minister of Trade and Consumer Affairs, Ravi Karunanayake, said when he launched the project "Feed and Educate Poor Children of Sri Lanka" at Galadari Hotel in Colombo recently.

The FAEPCOSL was registered as an NGO by Captain Eric Weinman, an Australian national born in Sri Lanka, to help and educate poor children in a discrimination free environment.He had felt the importance of helping the poor children in the country who were badly affected by the longstanding ethnic conflict.

A large quantity of items required for the children were brought by him to inaugurate an orphanage in memory of his late wife, Eve Weinman.

A computer for the use of poor children in Kotte was handed over to Minister Karunanayake by Captain Weinman on this occasion.
