We have been able to provide a further 50 dry ration packs to families of children who attend the Bethlehem Creche. Whilst the creche is closed due to covid the families are notified to pick up dry rations as most have no support due to loss of jobs. Sr Florella is most grateful to all those who have made this possible. The rations include 5 kg red rice, 3 kg dhaal, 1pkt of coconut milk powder, 2 cakes of soap, 500 ml cooking oil, 1200 gms (6 x 200gm) packs of samaposha a locally made nutritious cereal for children, 400 gms milk powder and 100gms of tea leaves.
If you would like to help these families Donations are NOT tax deductible but are needed during this time due to the pandemic.
In October 2021 we were able to send Christmas gifts to the children and staff at the Bethlehem Creche and these will be distributed sometime in January 2022 upon arrival.
We are planning a shipment of late Christmas gifts to disadvantaged children from various part of Sri Lanka in Jan 2022. Double vaccinated volunteers are needed to attend the packing dates. Monday 17 January to Saturday January 22nd 2022. Registrations will be essential. Please await further notifications.
