Some of the Welfare Missions that we conducted in Sri Lanka in the recent past

Come join us to help the needy and the poor in the world. All of us can do something to help children and the under privileged people in the world. Let us do something in our capacity. Let us light a candle rather than cursing the darkness. Let us share our resources by volunteering, by donating cash, food, clothes, books etc to those who are really in need of them. Thank you everyone for helping us. Looking forward to do the best we can.
