The 5th Annual Medical Campaign of the Rajans OBU Group of 94 was held at Ilukwewa Primary School in Sigiriya on 10th of July 2010. The location was selected from number of proposed schools that requested a helping hand. Among those locations two of the extremes were selected and the committee of our group along with Mr Weerakoon (Vice Principal of DRCK) visited them in order to make the final decision. Ilukwewa Primary School was selected by considering various facts. It is the most rural school in Higurakgoda educational zone and it is beyond the reach of physician thus a medical aid is unavailable even for an emergency. The other major fact was that it is situated within the danger zone of wild elephant yet a picturesque village.
