Mercy Crops

The perhaps only successful ‘project’ US giant Mercy Corps Inc. undertook at Arugam Bay was the plantation of fast growing trees along the main road.
Arugam.info objected to such trees being planted in front of the AbHa office, pointing out that they would soon touch the overhead main East Coast 33,000 Volt power lines directly overhead.

Of course idealistic Ms. Robinson did not listen to a simple peasant’s advice and continued “Changing Lifes” in the Bay.

Indeed, she was very successful in that undertaking – splitting the entire Community- and further more, even quicker than expected:
In living memory there has not been a single day without a power cut.
Mercyful trees grew so fast that they are now touching the lines at a dizzy height of 7 Meters.
Who on earth could be so short sighted?
The resulting el. shorts are even more spectacular than Mercy Corps’ earlier PR stunt “Lights of Hope”. Here we have a very dangerous situation!
For you who can’t recall the earlier huge fund raising exercise:

Mercy Corps dispensed a few hundred (very) low quality light chains to gullible AbaY residents.
Everyone was told not to switch them on until the paid(?) US media Buy betapace online arrived – to make sure they last long enough we suppose.

Our own banner: “No lights – No hope” was of course ignored and never shown on the Oprah Whimpy show – although much more appropriate.
No matter what – these two successful US businesses managed to collect huge sums.
In the name of Arugam Bay. Ms. Whinfrey actually “Reached out”. To her ball pen and signed a cheque for a million US Dollars – where the rest Millions have gone we can only guess (Harpo Inc. still owes the people of AbaY $300 dating from an agreement Jan. 2005 for exclusive video footage transmitted to them by us)
So much for the advertised 5 year plan Ditropan xl generic cost of Mercy Corpse – it started in 2005 and finishedA?A? sometime in 2006.

For the somewhat …technical minded:
Every school boy might understand the above illustration. It shows a tree near a fairly low power line, maybe 440V, in New Zealand.
In the clever NGO case of educated US Mercy Corps all sea side trees at Arugam Bay were planted DIRECTLY UNDER our much higher, 33,000V Main East Coast power line.
The simple natives of AbaY wish to thank the US for sending such ‘experts’ to our island!
Crops have Mercy on our uneducated Souls….

Observation:
It is very sad to report that Mercy Corps has totally failed in just about every task they undertook in our area.
It is however also realized and accepted, that Ms. Robinson acted in good faith, she really tried to do her level best for the Community. She simply chose to support the wrong people, and listed to the wrong local advice – that’s all.

In a week or so, we hope to publish a totally differed story.
This will demonstrate how a huge Organization did NOT at all act in good faith, they did NOT try to do the best to their abilities:
These guys actually refused to help the injured, actually stole from the Community, caused willful criminal damage and are locally known as ‘Die Rote Kotze’ (‘The Red Vomit’); for good and later explained reasons.
These weird people still have a police report pending against them and tried to silence us after attempts to sue us in Genevre failed miserably.
Wait for our report and evidence! It is all well documented!
We gave them a last chance to respond and live up to their given promises to make amends. But of course they feel they are soooo well known and they simply don’t care about us – the stupid Tsunami victims.

State Bank defaults a hotel owner in Arugambay

Colombo, 24 May, (Asiantribune.com): Owner of the Siam View Hotel [SVH] of Arugambay , Dr. Fred Miller complains the Buspar for anxiety and mood disorder Arugambay branch office of a state owned bank terminated their services and defaulted rent payments one month after the tsunami.The Bank was located at the premises of the Siam Hotel , Arugambay and provided ample service for the area businessmen and the tourists .

Dr.Miller, served as an Engineer and the Hotel Owner who loves surfing in the Potuvil area said the BankA?a??a??s Management has still not answered his official letters regarding the monthly rent.

A?a??A?The SVH, itself the hardest hit hotel for miles around, has been politely asking for the rent due ever since. Nothing at all was paid until a letter arrived a week ago informing them that the Bank has A?a??A?No intention to re-open the Arugambay Extention office, said Dr. Miller.

For the few visitors of the Bay the handful of hard working, hard hit survivors managed to attract in such difficult times as there are no more financial services at Arugam Bay.

Indeed, the nearest cash machine is 2-3 hrs. away. A poor show – but it perhaps represents the kind of A?a??A?assistance and concernA?a??A? our East Coast location receives from faceless and very distant Colombo officers.

Since temporarily peace settled in 2002 a concerned and forward looking, branch manager of the Arugambay bank, thought to provide a better service to the influx of tourists to the Bay.

Scantly dressed females somehow looked out of place in the nearby, conservative Pottuvil at this office. Impatient surfers found waiting for currency transactions and Visa Card advances troublesome and the local staff was overworked with such transactions.

In consultation with the SVH management it was decided to rent the premises at Arugam Bay to provide a better, most welcome and valuable service to visitors to this remote region.

There are no private Banks permitted and Central BankA?a??a??s permission was granted in 2003 to open the new Extention Office at Arugambay.

For an initial period of 3 Years the ground floor offices on the main road, in the very middle of the Bay were given to the Bank at a preferential rate of just 50$/month including air condition and power. The Siam View Hotel refurbished the office at a cost of around Rs. 300,000, to include an attached shower & bathroom.

On 26th December, 2004 giant floods swept the Bay and wiped off near all of the Siam View Hotel. The bank premises however remained intact and stood up to the waves.

The interior however was devastated and washed away. All which remained was the strong safe and the sign boards.

The State Bank never, ever came back to assess the situation, never even cleaned their own premises, but had the new safe removed in mid 2006.

The SVH itself has been credited on CNN & ITN with being the only functioning place open on the entire East Coast. Indeed, the SVH reopened on Tsunami Day itself providing valuable services to the (then) united Community. This is well documented elsewhere, mainly abroad.

More than a dozen letters were sent to the totally unconcerned bankA?a??a??s Head Office. More followed to the Ampara regional office, asking to re-open the office as a matter of urgency to pay Tsunami relief locally. Unfortunately according to a source, A?a??A?Not even one single letter was ever answered,A?a??A? he said.

Hot Idea!

AbaY on fire!

Beach Fire
In recent memory, there is only just one single day when this kind of sad event, similar to above, would not have concerned us too much.
And this may have been the 26th December, 2004……
At all other times it could wipe out the entire Bay! Given bad wind directions.
Cost of depo provera in australia Why?
Because the next fire truck is parked up about 2-3 hours away, in Monaragala or Ampara.
How about donating an old, redundant fire truck to the Bay – to be stationed half way between Panama and PottuVille, i.e in Arugambay?
Both towns either side of us also have no fire service.
Unthinkable in the West or any civilized Society!
Who has a few $$$ left over to supply an old truck to save lives?
modern AbaY Fire Brigade
Obviously this idea is also beyond the means of any caring NGO.
They are here to change Property for sale aldara park randburg lives. Not save them.
