Arulraj, Government Agent and District Secretary of Batticaloa, and Mr. A. S. M. Ziyath, the Assistant Director of Disaster Management Center of Batticaloa to strengthen collaboration towards a healthier, safer, and more resilient Batticaloa.

At the heart of the discussion was Rotary’s flagship initiative, Sharp Eyes – Learn Better, dedicated to providing prescription spectacles to schoolchildren in need. Because when a child can see clearly, they can learn with confidence, participate fully, and unlock opportunities for their future.

The discussion also explored Rotary’s ongoing community initiatives and its role in El-Niño disaster preparedness, response, and community resilience With climate-related challenges placing increasing demands on communities, strong coordination between government and community organizations is more important than ever.

The guidance and local insight of government authorities are vital in ensuring Rotary initiatives are relevant, practical, well-coordinated, and reach those who need them most.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the team presented a copy of Governor's Monthly Letter (GML) reflecting Rotary District 3220 commitment to communication, transparency, and meaningful engagement with the wider community.

This is Rotary at its best, bringing leaders, communities, and partners together to understand real needs, strengthen resilience, and create solutions that deliver lasting impact.
