ROTC Officer Cadets from U.S. universities are partnering with the Sir John Kotelawala Defense University in Sri Lanka to assist with flood relief activities in Wellampitiya and Kollonnawa – two of the most affected areas in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo.

This is the first year the cadets traveled to Sri Lanka as part of a world-wide program in which over 1,200 U.S. Cadets are participating in various activities in 49 countries to broaden their cultural and regional knowledge.

In Sri Lanka, the Cadets will help with humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, participate in exchanges with Sri Lankan military cadets, and practice cross-cultural communication.
