Dear Jo-Anne,

On behalf of arugam.info we hereby apologize for the small typing error!
We hope this issue has been corrected herewith.

It is regretted that your organization was not known to us.
At Arugam Bay we never, ever had any contact from or with “Sewalanka”.
Btw:
Many NGO’s claim to be “community based” etc. - but sadly real home based projects and self-help groups are seen as competitors and they are ignored at best - obstructed more often.
Maybe this is regrettable?
Because together we could have achieved a great deal more.

Hello,
You have posted a link to my blog on your website (http://www.arugam.info/2008/07/18/ce-la-vivre/miss-jo-de-vivre-sewage-lanka/) and have me listed as working for Sewage Lanka. I do not work for this organization (I don’t even think it exists). I am working for Sewalanka Foundation (www.sewalanka.org).

Please make this correction immediately or remove the link to my blog. Thank you.
Jo-Anne

Jo! You seem to be a very nice person!
But, typical for most ENJOY’s:
What dio you know about this island?
Quote:
“I desperately want to visit but haven’t been able to because it’s in the conflict-plagued east.”
How come, then, Dear Jo, that there are a lot more foreign visitors in Arugam Bay than in just about any other place in S.L.?
The Bay is peaceful, quiet and frankly Battaramulla, Colombo and Kandy are far more dangerous places to hang out in.
Proof:
This weekend’s rave party at PottuVille Point.
YOU should be HERE! - And not loath in da Foam…
You and your personality appears to be well suited….;-) for AbaY and de Point.
Half the in crowd of Colombo city is present at AbaY right now. -
And ordinary people appear to be NOT as scared as the NGO’s to travel East- it seems.
When will we see you in da Bay then?
Cheers
Andrew
