^ Villagers are hoping to see fruits of their tsunami charity cash By Helen McKell


A PRESENTATION about relief work in Sri Lanka in the wake of the Boxing Day tsuna­ mi was given to fund-raisers in Hurst Green. Committee members of the


Hurst Green Tsunami Appeal welcomed Sarah Rogers, head of the Jesuit Volunteer Communi­ ty. Since the appeal fund was launched in January; committee members have been hoping to find a charity which \vill be able to use the money raised for direct aid, without any being


siphoned off for administrative purposes. They also hoped that a distinct project could be creat­ ed, so that Hurst Green \Tllagers could see the fruits of their efforts. The Jesuits working in Sri Lanka have already formed a “Relief and Rehabilitation Board”, made up both of Jesuits


and professional lay people, and have targeted various categories of people on whom to concen-. trate their relief efforts. They range from fisher-folk to street


vendors. ~ Members of the committee


are now waiting to be allocated a project from Jesuit Missions.


................At the same meeting, an email


from Mr M a rk Rawson was read out, describing how he has spent the £2,000 that he was sent by the charity to be used in Thailand, where he is currently working as a volunteer. Spurred on by the results of their efforts so far, committee members are


busy organising a ’ nowbusvoreanisinRa“Summei


' Supper”, to be held at Stony- hurst College on July 1st. Onlj a few tickets still remain for the event, which \vill include an auc­ tion of promises.For furthei information about bids, or ticket availability, please contact Miss Mary Bailey (01254 826269).

When we were waiting for the flight to Columbo at the gates in Doha, we were the only three white people there, which the Sri Lankans found amazing.

IS a country with a lot of poverty. In a way this was not something I was expecting. I knew it was poor, but I didn't expect to see the amount of dirt and rubbish on the streets. There are stray dogs everyivhere and cows eat from the rubbish piles that accu­ mulate along the sides of the roads. Tomorrow I start work at about 9-30 a.m.,


which I am really looking forward to. The volunteers who have been here for a few weeks say it is fun, but very much hard work. I haven't seen any destruction as yet, as it


is all further south, but we have been told that the majority of the coastline is still the way it was six months ago. After my first impressions of the country,


this is not hard to understand. For these people, whilst a heavy loss, life m p t go on and what appears to be normality is coping with whatever means to battle whatever new challenges come up against them.

to bat first, but the home side got off to the worst possible start with both open­ ers back in the pavil­ ion with the score on two.


Grindleton were able to post a reasonable score of 133 for 9.


After tea, the home- side took to the field with a spring in their step. Briggs and Robinson opened the bowling and both bowled tightly, with


-the Hurst Green openers finding runs difficult to come by.


The pressure began to tell and wickets began to fall - two for Robinson and one for Briggs saw the visitors struggling at 39forthree.


A score of 72 for four soon became 72 for five and once again the home side were in trouble. Crossland (47), eager to avoid a repeat of last week’s performance, played a typical captain’s innings and, Mth the support of Robinson (15), took the score to 123 before becom­ ing Edmonson’s sec­ ond victim. Despite a late flurry of wickets.


Jacques and Holden managed to steady the ship for the visi­ tors and slowly began to assert control over the Grindleton attack. The score had reached 80 for three when Crossland brought Wilkinson on from the Chat- bum end. Wilkinson, charging in like a wounded rhino was unplayable, taking three wickets in
