AN  APPEAL
for the firefly mission 2005, Sri Lanka

Dear Friends,

Greetings from the Firefly Mission

This June, the Firefly Mission with more than 40 volunteers will be heading to Sri Lanka for a humanitarian mission.

We have three main objectives this year:

1)       Parasol Weavers - Post Tsunami Projects - Firefly together with Buddhist Federation, Shan You Counselling Centre have a project called Parasol Weavers, where we will help finance the reconstruction of about 7 community halls in Temples affected by the Tsunami.  We will be visiting one or two of these spots.

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.
 

A BIG THANK YOU to all our sponsors and supporters for making the above projects possible.

In addition to the above, we will be visiting and distributing goods (stationeries, food, medicine) to orphans, students in schools, old folks homes etc

As a Buddhist based humanitarian group, we will be also make some offering of Dana to Venerable Monks (estimated to be about 300) in various Monasteries

On behalf of the Firefly Mission, I would like to invite you & your family to participate in making this coming mission a success, below please find detailed lists of items we have planned to donate to Charity & for Dana

Thank you very much for your patience in reading this long appeal & support 

May the Merits Accrued from the coming Mission be Shared by All Sentient Beings

May Everyone be Well, Happy & Calm

With Metta
