Most Holy Apostolic Father His Holiness Rohan Lalith Aponso took prompt action to donate relief items to the people who were affected by the recent floods. These images show Dry rations and Essential flood relief items which were purchased out of the personal wealth of the Holy Apostolic Father were being packed by the officials of the Apostolic Media Networks and the personnel from the Apostolic Security Division at the Shrine of Our Lady of Katunayake, where the Holy Apostolic Father reside. His Holiness the Apostolic Father did not collect any contribution from anyone for this flood relief campaign.
Among people, there are many who will take an advantage of the situation to fleece those who are victimized. Nevertheless, His Holiness the Apostolic Father, who has inherited wealth from his parents, has utilized them to donate many relief items and to distribute them among the flood victims. (Most Holy Apostolic Father His Holiness Rohan Lalith Aponso does not use the offerings that are offered by the devotees for his own survival.) When we think about this donation of such a massive value of relief to the victims, we can only say that we should be extremely delighted to see that “such a human being is presently living in our own country”.
