PART I. ON THE KING’S HIGH WAY. STUDIES IN THE CALL OF THE OPEN ROAD. HERE are few travellers who have not felt the spell and wonder of the Road that runs tirelessly on from town to town, through valley and forest3 over fen and moorland, with a silent, haunt­ T ing persistence which seems to give it an intelligence of its own. White in the sun at noon, it is shrouded but not hidden by the night, and laughs with a new triumph in the glow of dawn. The traveller hastens and the traveller rests, but the Road that neither hastens nor rests is waiting for him when the morning breaks. He may leave it for a time, but he may not forget i t ; and he must return at last from the meadow of rest to the Road that calls him with the voice of challenge. A young poet of the war left his best message to his fellow men in three lines : “ Far beyond the city gate The fallow fields eternal wait Where you may plough your furrow straight.” The fallow fields are a challenge to the plough, but beyond the gate there is also a King’s High Way which has an eternal challenge for the human heart. From a place called Bethlehem it comes down through the years to our City of To-day, where it is often lost for a time in the multitude and the tumult, the hazards and cares of life and toil. But when we lift our eyes we shall see it again, shadowed yet shining, overhung with mists yet golden with the rainbow of promise. And when our hearts are strong we catch the gleam of the far-away towers and pinnacles of the Great City that we are called to build in this troubled world. 5 <5 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNtJAT, REPORT. fl924. For the King’s High Way is the Road to the Kingdom of God. We see it in the King’s purposes and promises, we«see it in human need and human opportunity, in the task accomplished and the task not yet attempted; there at our feet it lies, always before us, with the challenge that becomes more urgent with every passing year. And away among its shadows moves One of kingly mien, robed in purple and crowned with thorn.

  • National Urban Workshop on Improving Living Environment and Health Condition of the Low Income Families in Urban Settlements, Held from 21St to 25Th October 2004
    National Urban Workshop on improving Living Environment and Health Condition of the Low Income Families in Urban Settlements, held from 21st to 25th October 2004 by the Janarukula Background Women’s Development Bank Federation (WDBF) which was promoted on 10th February 1998 carried out its saving and credit programs covering both urban and poor families living in several districts in Sri Lanka. Under this program 5 to 10 women were brought into one cohesive mutual help group. Every week every member saves Rs.5 in these groups. These saving are used to provide small loans to these members to meet their emergencies. Several groups in a settlement get together for solidarity purpose and from an entity called a Primary Society. These primary societies again federate at zonal level to from the Zonal Societies and at Districts Societies. WDBF is the Apex entity at national level to institutionalize and to coordinate all these women’s groups. The national conventions of the WDBF held in 1999 and 2003 proved how strongly that these Women’s Groups spread in urban settlements and rural hamlets in SriLanka, have come to be a reinforcing mechanism to address the issues of both rural and urban poor. Although WDBF is an endeavor of the poor to improve their own living condition by mobilizing their own resources, later it realized the importance of working in partnership with the other government and local government actors engaged in improving the living conditions of the people in various spheres. Accordingly WDBF at local level joined hands with respective Local Authorities, Grama Nildhharis, (Village level government officer) Public Health Inspectors, Officers of Agricultural and Agrarian Services Departments, and made use of their expertise in implementing its programs, such as promoting lavatory facilities, obtaining land clearance, and providing cultivation loans etc for improving conditions of the low income settlements in both rural and urban areas.
