Just as the parasol (layered umbrella), a significant cultural icon in South Asian societies used in important occasions, requires community involvement in its production, our entire project is the coming together of caring, passionate people with different expertise, in different parts of the world.

 This collective effort is like weaving a psychological parasol, serving to integrate,
empower and rebuild the affected communities in Kalutara, Galle, Matara & Hambantota, Sri Lanka and strengthen their sense of involvement and local community ties.

 We invite you to be one of the weavers,
weaving to hold the communities back together

Three main objectives this year:

 1) Parasol Weavers - Post Tsunami Projects - Firefly together with Singapore Buddhist Federation and Shan You Counseling Centre have a project called Parasol Weavers, where we will help finance the reconstruction of about 7-10 community halls in Temples affected by the Tsunami.                   

2) Boys Home in Galle – Firefly financed the building of a Boys Home in Galle and the building is now completed. We will be officially handing over the building to Bhante Udita Maha Thero during this trip.

3) Project Ekacctra – Firefly has sponsored a Security Sound System for the world famous and historical Tooth Relic Temple in Kandy. The historical handing over ceremony will be held during our trip.
