North Empowerment Project
The ending of the civil war in May 2009 has provided many new opportunities in northern Sri Lanka. Having achieved such wonderful success in the southern village of Seenigama after the tsunami, the Foundation of Goodness is now seeking to replicate the model in this previously troubled part of the country.

Known as the North Empowerment Project, the project will consist of a Learning & Empowerment Institute as well as New School for both primary and secondary education. The project will provide facilities and services to meet the needs of rural communities and help bridge the gap between these areas and the rest of the country. Serving approximately 50,000 beneficiaries a year, the project will cater to the healthcare, educational, business development, sports and empowerment needs of the local population through programmes of community development, inter-cultural activities and skills exchange.

Murali’s comment has to be contextualized in a situation where Murali has much to gain as a entrepreneur and businessman with well set sights. How he trivializes and over-rides the politics of the Northern displacement and the history of the Northern people is very tragic. Murali cannot be a delegate for the feelings of the Northern Tamil. Nor can his “family property” being damaged in 77 be compared to or taken along the same lines as the destruction undergone by the North and East over the past 3 decades.
Murali’s sporting days are over. But, not so his commercial acumen.
