HAMBANTOTA, Sri Lanka (April 24, 2019) – Commander of Naval Expeditionary Forces Pacific U.S. Navy Capt. Eric Correll(right) presented a plaque to Mrs. Dilani Champika, principal of Pahala Andarawew primary school, as a symbol of cooperation and goodwill towards the community in Hambantota, Sri Lanka. U.S. Navy Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion FOUR(NMCB-4) were designated to rehabilitate the school during the 2019 Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) exercise April 24, 2019.
Approximately 20 Seabees were set to work with Sri Lanka Navy counterparts for about six weeks in the southern part of the country as part of an Engineering Civil Action Project (ENCAP). However, the exercise was paused on April 22 due to the Easter Sunday attacks in the capital city and other places in Sri Lanka. The school rehabilitation project will continue and is expected to be completed by Sri Lanka Navy engineers with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony slated for some time in June.
