Resource Centre for Visually Impaired Soldiers

  • Email

 

Ranaviru Fund has learnt that there are increased number of soldiers who suffered eye injuries in the war against terrorism and subsequently lost complete sight or partial sight. We have inquired regarding the requirements of these valiant soldiers from the Rehabilitation Directorate of the Sri Lanka Army, based at Ranaviru Sevana, Ragama. We were fortunate to meet with Major Dushyantha Yapa, who lost sight in both eyes while serving the country.

Major Dushyantha Yapa explained us the difficulties of losing sight and also he educated us regarding the new technology & facilities available to overcome these difficulties. Major Yapa has travelled the world since he received injuries and has investigated how to make life easier of the soldiers who lost sight and found that the Royal National Institute for Blind (RNIB) in the United Kingdom has large number of accessories and equipment to support lives of visually impaired people. Major Yapa's intention is to establish a Resource Centre for the soldiers who suffered eye injuries and subsequently sight losses.

Ranaviru Fund is pleased to announce the delivery of items to setup a dedicated resource centre for the brave soldiers with visual impairements. We learnt that there are increased number of soldiers who suffered eye injuries in the war against terrorism and subsequently lost complete sight or partial sight. We have inquired regarding the requirements of these valiant soldiers from the Rehabilitation Directorate of the Sri Lanka Army, based at Ranaviru Sevana, Ragama. As a result we were able to provide the necessary equipment to initiate this facility at the Ranaviru Sevana, Ragama.

In a conversation with Ranaviru Fund while arranging the donation, Major Dushyantha Yapa has stated "I am really happy, because one of my another  dream  has come to a reality"

Members from Ranaviru Fund officially handed these items to Major Dushyantha Yapa, other fellow officers and soldiers at the rehabilitation centre on 07th March 2010.
