On Saturday, March 28th, IMHO held an event at the Elks Lodge in Woburn, Massachusetts focused on the current humanitarian crisis in Northeast Sri Lanka. After the presentations and a very moving video about the ground situation, the approximately 230 guests shared a nice meal together, prepared graciously by local families. In total, the event raised about $27,000, which was given for the immediate purpose of getting milk powder to children and pregnant women so desperately in need of such nutrition and energy. These supplies have since been deliverd within the conflict zone itself--the first such shipment to arrive in the conflict zone. We are very grateful to all you who made this a reality! |
Dr. Nanda Nanthakumar, who organized the event, and IMHO President, Dr. Raguraj, spoke about the current situation and outlined all of the challenges these people face. Additionally, they covered IMHO's response, which has been possible thanks to the very generous contributions of those who have supported IMHO's work in delivering healthcare and other aid to those most affected. The IMHO Office Coordinator also spoke about his recent trip to Sri Lanka taken on behalf of IMHO and engaged the youth in particular in ways that they can get involved.
