Head of Operations at the Security Lodging and Rehabilitation Centre, Major M. M. G. S. Fernando receiving the donation from Director/General Manager of MMBL Money Transfer (Pvt) Ltd. Adrian Corera.

MMBL Money Master recently donated shoes and socks for 113 children at the Security Lodging and Rehabilitation Centre in Ambepussa. The centre helps rehabilitate former LTTE child soldiers who had surrendered during the war. The centre carries out a one year vocational training for its inmates on completion of which they could return to their villages. Some inmates have also been found foreign employment. A few are ready to fly to Malaysia on employment next week.

These children have been forced into tremendous hardship during the conflict. We have a responsibility to guide them along the correct path to return to society as responsible citizens of a united and peaceful Sri Lanka. We greatly appreciate the work being carried out by our military to rehabilitate them, which is why we have come forward to assist the centre', said Adrian Corera, Director/General Manager of MMBL Money Master.
