Buddhist Maha Vihara launches fund for Sri Lankan orphans

The Star, 15 June 2009

SOME 400 orphans displaced in the Vavuniya district, 254km north of Colombo as a result of the recently concluded war between the Sri Lanka army and the Tamil Tigers are living in misery without basic necessities.

To help them, the Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfields, is organising a project to raise money to educate and provide assistance to these children.

An initial RM30,000 has been collected to kick-start the programme.

“This will be an ongoing programme that constitutes scholarships and educational opportunities for these children,” the Buddhist Chief High Priest of Malaysia K. Sri Dhammaratana Nayaka Maha Thera said.

“The Sri Lankan children are in need of help and through this fund-raising project we hope to give to some hope to these children and help them start a new life,” he said.

The temple is also starting a collection of items like sanitary products, toiletries, blankets and pillows, clothes and other necessities.

Deputy Federal Territories Minister Datuk M. Saravanan, who launched the project on 12 June 2009, also pledged RM10,000 from the ministry.

Those interested in donating can call the temple at 03-2274 1141.
