Please help to rebuild Sri Lanka
Wed, Jul 1, 2009, 08:08 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka just emerged from a devastating war that was fought for three decades amid innumerable economic and social hardships. The war has drained the recourses of the country that was already battered by a destructive tsunami not too long ago. Now that it is slowly trying to recover from the catastrophes we must offer our utmost support to rebuild the country.
As most of the Sri Lankan as well as international aid agencies have focused on the dire situation of the Internally Displaced Persons languishing in the welfare centers of the North, the resources that support various welfare programs in the rest of the country have diminished.
Nearly one-fourth of Sri Lanka's population who still lives below poverty line, children orphaned by the tsunami or the ethnic conflict, teenagers who become mothers due to sexual abuse, families of soldiers killed, or missing in action, soldiers disabled by the war, abused women, and mentally ill rejected by the society are some of the unfortunates who need our support.
Foundation for Rebuilding Sri Lanka (FRSL) is a non-sectarian, and non-profit organization based in the United States. Our goal is to direct funds to various projects with the corporation of government institutions, ministries, banks and even security forces to get them completed in an efficient and a timely manner. We have outlined several projects that you can help to see the completion. Some are ongoing needs and others are just one time necessity. There are some immediate needs that we currently hope to address. Please visit frsl.org to see how you can help.
Please help us to bring hope to the lives of the less fortunate. Let us make your generous donation work where it is needed most.
