FROM THE CITY OF VAVUNIYA, TRAVELLING 13KM ON HARDLY MOTORABLE DIRT ROADS WE REACHED KATTKULAM; A POST WAR OUT-POST SET UP IN THE DISTRICT OF VAVUNIYA WHERE IDP FAMILIES HAVE BEEN RE-SETTLED; SANS WATER, ELECTRICITY OR BASIC SANITATION. WE PITCHED CAMP IN THEIR MIDST TO LEND THEM A HELPING HAND. THIS INHOSPITABLE COMMUNE HAS PLUNGED THEM INTO FAR WORSE CRISES THAN BEFORE. RELIGEOUS WAR LORDS WHO DON’T GIVE A TINKER’S CUSS ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF MINORITY RELIGIONS OR PUBLIC OR WORLD OPINION RESORT TO VIOLENCE, THREAT AND INTIMIDATION TO KEEP OTHER FAITHS UNDER THEIR JACK BOOT. OUR’S IS NOT A FLY-BY-NIGHT OPERATION. WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE LONG HAUL. YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. GOD BLESS YOU.
– Pastor Dayalan Sanders.
