We have started ‘Wata Maluwa ‘ the octagon terrace construction work as a part of the final phase of the ‘Chaithya’ construction which is planned to be completed by June this year. Below is a drawing of the planned terrace:

The ‘Wata Maluwa ‘ the octagon terrace area consists of 2500 square feet of space, as per the estimates one square feet will cost Rs. 800.00. If you would like to make a contribution towards this rare noble task please donate using this link.

The planned workshop has been conducted by experienced Bee keeper and researcher Mr. B. Karuanaratne. Five initial bee colonies have been established in the village, they will be used for the next phase of Bee hives and honey fencing project. Please visit this page for more information.

With the help of civil defence officers, Mr. Samapth Fonseka and his supporters, we have managed to distribute much needed dry rations and essential items worth Rs. 6,000 (per family) to eighty thee families in the area.

Thanks to our kind donors Mr. Nihal De Silva and his supporters (Earndi & Manjuala, Walter, Chandara, Isitha, Randy, Siri, Swinitha, Nilanthi and Biman) who arranged to supply exercise books and accessories including book bags to students attending Dhaham Pasala. Donating the costs for such materials has eased the burdens for the parents of these children, who want nothing more than to see their children have the same opportunities that many others take for granted each day.

During a recent visit by the members of Ederamulla Lions club, we have received plants to support ongoing tree plantation and reforestation project.

As a part of water supply project established at the temple premises, we are pleased to announce that we provide 6,000 litres of purified drinking water everyday to surrounding villages.

 

With the combination of temple facilities of the Dhaham Shala and the library program recently we have started providing basic computer education (NVQ level) to the children in the surrounding villages. Computer classes were conducted with minimum facilities with an examination held at the Vihara Dhaham shala hall. We are pleased to announce the students have achieved over 90% pass rate for this program. We encourage kind donors to donate computers to further enhance this facility.

Thanks to Friends of Sri Lanka charity, we have started roof construction work by preparing timber for the roof.

With kind donations organised by Mr. Nihal Silva and his relatives and friends together with Mr. Prasda Perera and family we are now able to fit ceiling fans to facilitate Dhamma Shala which will be used for Dhaham pasala, practising dhamma during various programs and many community events.
