TRO working closely with German GTZ
Description
The co-ordinating Colombo office of the Tamil Rehabilitation Organization (TRO), an NGO registered with Government of Sri Lanka and working exclusively in the NorthEast, told TamilNet that they need up to 10,000 tents that can hold a family of five to temporarily house displaced people in different areas of North East, and urgently need 200 tents within the next few days. “TRO offices in the United States are working to fulfill this need,” Chandru Pararajasingham, director of TRO Colombo office told TamilNet. Sources added that TRO used its own funds to buy 400 tents, and another 1000 tents were donated to them by expatriate Tamils and international NGOs. TRO is also closely working with GTZ, a German Government funded NGO, in providing temporary shelter for those affected by tsunami in the eastern coastal belt.
