  • ICRC Sri Lanka COVID-19 Response: 2020
    ANNUAL ROUND-UP 2020 ICRC SRI LANKA COVID-19 RESPONSE MESSAGE FROM THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR In a year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and its dire consequences for health care, economies and the well-being of populations around the world, I would like to share with you the contribution that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) teams made in several critically affected countries in Asia and the Pacific during 2020. The efforts were aimed at supporting communities and the authorities in trying to prevent, control and manage the effects of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable. Though we have stepped into 2021, the pandemic is far from over. With the second and third waves striking many nations across the world, countries continue to rely on restrictive measures and lockdowns to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. As I write this, more than two million people have lost their lives to COVID-19 worldwide and the confirmed cases have surpassed 97 million. Of these, 14.5 million confirmed cases and more than 228,000 deaths have been reported from Asia and the Pacific. At the same time, there is a glimmer of hope in the vaccination campaigns that have unrolled in many countries. We are advocating to ensure that people affected by conflict and violence, who might otherwise be forced to the back of the queue, have an equitable access to the vaccine. Similarly, other marginalized communities like the internally displaced people, migrants, asylum seekers and detainees must be taken along in this journey towards immunization. The ICRC, together with our National Red Cross and Red Crescent Society partners, is ready to support national vaccination campaigns and facilitate access to the COVID-19 vaccine for those in difficult-to-reach vulnerable and marginalised populations in countries affected by armed conflict and violence.

  • THE RED LETTER Volume 8, Issue 1 January- April 2016 EDITORIAL the First Term Was As Always a Hectic Term
    THE RED LETTER Volume 8, Issue 1 January- April 2016 EDITORIAL The first term was as always a hectic term. The one thing that automatically pops to every LCite’s mind, of course, is the sports meet. From the grade fours who just learnt about the four houses to the grade fourteens who shall soon be leaving them, everyone took part in either a class relay or an individual event, marched under the boiling hot sun or stayed late into the night for décor just to win those elusive points for their houses. But even with house spirits raging high, we never lost sense of our cooperation and teamwork, leading us all to strengthen and create new bonds. Then the term rolled into Founder’s day. After a heartfelt service and a day filled with food and fun, the girls trooped out to the backgarden to watch the annual prefects vs teachers netball match. Those gifted with the talent of speech and song took part in inter house oratorics, debates and solo singing. The girls had their time filled with events outside school including rowing regattas, debating tournaments, chess and scrabble competi- tions, athletic meets, netball tournaments and even took part in international competitions like the SAG. This term grades 10,11 and 12 took assembly to teach us about indigenous music, independence and founder’s day respectively. The three literary societies also taught us about various child authors and broadened our minds to the things we as students are capable of creating. Ultimately, the first term set a fast pace for the rest of the year to live up to and set the standard that our girls have always maintained, in proving that we can balance both extra curricular activities and academics.
