Week 1 Update

Marking our 1st week here in Sri Lanka here is where we stand.

HOUSING SETUP- We plan to have a Sri Lanka Outreach home within the next few days. We have housing opportunities from many sources. We wish to thank and express our appreciation to our home opener, the family of Amal Peiris who has generously provided housing, food, and transportation for our team of 6. Without the hospitality and understanding of the Peiris' we would find it difficult to continue to be in Sri Lanka. Currently we have confirmed 1 person joining us February and 2 teams pending confirmation. March will bring us a couple from New York.

VISAS RENEWAL- Upon entry to the country, a Visa of 1 month is issued at the Columbo airport. For each 3 months continued, the cost is $174 plus $100 processing fee.

INTRODUCTORY MEETING- Through our communication with governmental, US, Sri Lankan and others in Sri Lanka, we would ask each representative to work with our Outreach Team to plan for an informal hour meeting to communicate relief obstacles, safety concerns, and areas of need.
