Displaying a continued sense of commitment and compassion for those most deeply affected by war and other hardship in Sri Lanka, our friends from “Anpuneri” (Path of Love) in Orange County, CA held a food festival fundraiser for the second year in a row with great success. The dedication and hard work of this generous group of individuals is clear to all. More than 280 adults and children attended the July 30th event, which featured a dinner of traditional Sri Lankan dishes, a kids talent show, and a presentation by IMHO President Dr. Kanaga Sena on IMHO’s efforts to improve health and medical services for those in need in Sri Lanka. More than $25,000 was raised thanks to the generosity of all the attendees and donors, all of which will help to restore livelihoods for families left displaced and struggling to put the pieces of their lives back together. The love and care of those who supported this event will help to get families who lost their primary breadwinners back on their feet again. IMHO wishes to thank all the organizers, volunteers, and donors for their efforts in helping to restore hope and to ensure a better tomorrow for so many war-affected families in Northern Sri Lanka. |
