Our Aid

Yesterday we went down to Bodhiraja Buddhist Society at No. 9 Geylang Lorong 30 (many thanks to Ricky for the lift!) with our small gift towards the Sri Lanka civil war refugees.

There is a big box placed in the front yard of the BBS with a poster of the donation drive pasted on it. I peered inside and there was still nothing in the box. If you remember, please do make a trip down either to the foundation or the Sri Lanka High Commissioner with your aid donations.

Aid For Sri Lankan War Refugees

The Sri Bodhiraja Foundation in Sri Lanka is coordinating an aid relief effort for the more than 100,000 refugees of the civil war in Northen Sri Lanka.

This on-going war in Northern part of Sri Lanka has left thousands of refugees fleeing their homes and are now staying in camps, many without shelter, food and medical care.

Please kindly refer to the poster for appeal on donation for dried foodstuff (noodles, biscuits, cereals etc.)and medicine (antibiotics, pain killers, surgical items, dressings etc.).

Please send your donated items to Bodhiraja Buddhist Society or the Sri Lankan High Commission.
