| By now the government should have provided temporary
shelters to all the effected families. Despite the
considerable sum of money received from around the
world, the government is very inefficient and many
people complain that it is slow and careless. I have
many reasons to believe them.
My projects in the camps are being supervised by
two monks in Kalmune and Ampara (located about 250
kilometers from Colombo). Because of the difficulty
with transportation they travel by motorbike about
thirty miles to the location of the camps.
I will provide all the resources and the money
for them to get things done. We are trying to get
more refugees set up in camps and remove them from
poor conditions. The government agents have given
us permission to set up 25 more temporary shelters
for twenty-five families. Eventually we will increase
the number of families in our Triple Gem Camp up
to one hundred.
