The person making the building plans and BOQ for the buildings in Mullaitivu (Tudor) will be coming over later today to present his stuff. Kunju, Jacob and Jeevan are leaving to India tomorrow for 10 days so this project will probably get started when they return. If possible I’ll see if [...] Sorry for the lack of posting lately.
