The Japan Sri Lanka Friendship Association donated scholarships and spectacles to the SLAF Seva Vaitha Unit as the second step on their cooperation with SLAF which started with the handing over of a fire vehicle previously.
 
The ceremony of handing over the donations to the Sri Lanka Air Force Seva Vanitha Unit by  this Association was held at AFHQ on 27 July 2015 under the patronage of Director Welfare AVM Lal Perera and Mrs. Manel Perera. The delegation handed over the monetary grants, spectacles and stationary items to Mrs. Manel Perera who represented the Seva Vanitha Unit during the ceremony.

This is the first occasion that the Japan Lanka Friendship Association, which has previously donated many equipment to Sri Lankan Organizations, has donated equipment to the SLAF Seva Vanitha Unit.

A special cultural programme was held at AFHQ in appreciation of the donation, with the objective of making it a memorable event for the Japanese delegation.
 
The delegation included Dr Lal Thilakaratne, the leaders of the Japan Sri Lanka Friendship Association, and Japanese well-wishers of the association.
