We Provide a day service for children and young adults with
a mental handicap-Monday to Friday.The centre has three full
time staff,a number of volunteers and parent support.
This is a community based service and Don Bosco Technical
School,local clergy and parishioners give good support. |
25persons attend the centre and the local education authorities have indicated an interest as this is
the only day centre for the mentally handicapped in Negombo.
Peter Dorai Raj,from Ireland,has carried out recent psychological
assessments and clearly a service is required for children with a mental handicap (Montessori) in
Negombo.

Presently we provide staff twice a week for the training and support of 23 children and
young adults with a disability.Service to be expanded to 5 days a week.The supportive care education
and training now being provided for the people using the service at Nisansala would never have been posible
without the support and
encouragement of so many friends and colleagues,both locally and from Ireland and Britain. The Brothers Of
Charity Service users and
their families,co-workers and friends of Nisansala appreciate with heartfelt thanks this generous assistance.
We shall continue to maximize
every opportunity to secure the future success of the services,mindful of the local culture and traditions
so as to maintain our firm commitment
to equality of opportunity.
