Airlift Operations to Cut-Off Regions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In partnership with Yahaguna Padanama and supported logistically by Expolanka, RTSL has begun airlifting dry rations to isolated communities, ensuring uninterrupted support to areas where land access has been completely blocked by floodwaters. Food parcels and ration packs airlifted via the airforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volunteer Teams Leading the Impact<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RTSL emphasizes that the success of its humanitarian mission has been driven by its dedicated volunteers. These teams continue to work long hours in hazardous, waterlogged, and rapidly evolving conditions, providing life-saving assistance and maintaining the organization\u2019s reputation for speed, compassion, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leadership at the Helm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The initiative was founded and directed by Avanka William, whose leadership has been central to RTSL\u2019s rapid response. William coordinated frontline logistics, organized both local and international fundraising, and personally travelled into high-risk flood zones to deliver food, medication, and essential supplies. His efforts have significantly amplified public awareness and mobilized nationwide support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supporting him is Randhike Cooray, the operational backbone of the mission. Cooray has overseen dispatching, ground coordination, resource movement, and volunteer management, ensuring the safe and efficient execution of every relief deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
