A container of 3 tons will be made available to us and a transporter will be offering free transfer to Zürich and transport and logistical support will be organised by Ceylon Tours in the affected areas of Srilanka. We have requested Srilankan Airlines to transport the container free of charge as a humanitarian gesture.
