Workshop for Would-be Befrienders

A Workshop has been organised for would-be Befrienders on 30th April 2005. This was in view of the fact that a number of Volunteers expressed a wish to support cancer patients and care-givers through such befriending.

The Workshop was conducted by Ms Nalini Ellawala, Director, Sri Lanka Sumithrayo at “Mel Medura”, Horton Place, Colombo.7. It was well attended and gave everyone a good insight into the skills needed for this activity. Mithuruwela has been offered facilities at ‘Shanthi Sevana’ Maharagama – which will be an Information Room and a site for befriending services.
