RWA programs to mark 46th anniversary

The Ratmalana Welfare Association has organised a series of programs to mark its 46th anniversary this year.

The Ratmalana Welfare Association (RWA) set up in 1968 provides welfare amenities to residents in the precincts bordering Attidiya Road up to 5th Lane. The RWA has undertaken many projects including the children's playground, said Hony President, Ratmalana Welfare Association R. Arunthavanathan.

The children's park has been developed to a high standard. To maintain this children's park and sustain many other amenities the RWA needs funds, as the current membership fee levied annually is deemed grossly inadequate to meet these commitments and a fund-raising campaign has been launched for the purpose, he said.
