## **The trustee’s report on the main activities undertaken by JMFOA UK during the period from 01.07.2022 to 30.06.2023:** 

JMFOA continued most of its activities in Sri Lanka and the UK as in previous years, in addition to a few new initiatives. 

The construction of a state-of-the-art simulation skills lab at Jaffna Teaching Hospital was completed for £40,000. Throughout the year, we continued our free telephone health advisory service and free counselling services in our people's native language—the Nalavaalvu service. 

This year, JMFOA started a new student repayment loan scheme to help Jaffna Medical Faculty students financially during their undergraduate studies at a monthly rate of SLR 4000 per student. JMFOA UK sponsored an undergraduate research symposium organised by medical faculty to encourage medical students to pursue in research activities. 

The Royal College of Surgeons recognised Jaffna Medical Faculty as its regional training centre in South Asia. JMFOA UK sponsored its basic surgical skills and laparoscopic skills courses as postgraduate training for doctors in surgery. Also, JMFOA started PACES mock exam techniques and preparation for postgraduate trainee doctors in Jaffna and Batticaloa teaching hospitals in Sri Lanka as an educational activity. 

We continued our monthly educational webinars on different topics for our members without interruption. During this year, we continued our activities of JMFOA hiking, book club, and the Mohan Memorial Trophy Cricket Match for our members and their families. 

The Tamil community in the North and East have been affected by the country’s 30-year civil war, COVID-19, the recent economic crisis and economic migration, which left behind a trail of destruction and displacement, unemployment, and the region has been struggling to rebuild ever since. There is a fundamental change in the functioning of the family and the community in the North and East, leading to a breakdown in traditional family structures, institutions and familiar ways of life, deterioration in social norms and ethics, loss of cultural identity and value, low level of literacy, skill, education, high levels of poverty and unemployment. The community became more dependent, passive, silent, without leadership and suspicious. The psychological distress and despair of these dysfunctional families and communities, particularly among children, adolescents and youth, makes them more vulnerable to developing unwanted problems and unhealthy behaviours – teenage pregnancy, substance use, increased mental health problems, suicides, crime & violence, physical and sexual abuse, neglect, antisocial behaviours, divorce, addictions and lack of social cohesion. In addition, substance use, particularly heroin and ICE use, and violent crime related to its use in the North and East have increased alarmingly for many reasons, mainly at the school level in the past few years. Therefore, addressing the community's psychosocial needs requires a holistic, integrated, and participatory approach that involves multiple sectors and stakeholders. JMFOA (Jaffna Medical Faculty Overseas Alumni), with the help of medical professionals in the North and East hospitals, the Jaffna Medical Faculty, Jaffna Teaching Hospital, and the education department, is facilitating an evidence-based, coordinated, sustainable ‘substance use prevention program’ which is implemented locally by education and health department. This program supports the development of soft skills - life skills and competence in children to make them good citizens of the country. 

Considering the evidence, JMFOA and the primary stakeholders decided: 

1. To train at least one teacher from every secondary school in North and East on life skills using Manohari modules and expect that teacher to teach life skills to all children in return. 

2. To set up a youth-friendly drop-in or walk-in (youth resource centre) centre. 

3. To create a youth-friendly website 

Because this project is massive, complex, and involves many sectors, a Pilot Project was initiated in March 2023 to train selected secondary school teachers from the education zone of Vadamarachchi and  Batticaloa  on  Manohari  life  skill  modules  for  six  months. The  necessary  funds  to implement this massive project were raised from our charity's public fundraising musical event and participation in the Edinburgh Marathon.
