Name of Account: There is shortage of Candles in the local market. BSB No: - 062 185 | Account No - 1073 9835 End of last year, a High School in Queensland sent over 800 Solar powered lighting units to Vanavatu to light up and entire village in one go! Let us rise up to help our poor relations in Sri Lanka to come out of darkness. If each family who has studied in Sri Lanka could donate a Solar Powered Lighting Unit we could help the students in Sri Lanka. We cannot provide lighting to all families, but little drops of water make a might ocean. AndurenEliyata, since 2014 have donated over 2700 Lighting packages to the students in remote places including Dambana, Mahiyangana, Padiyatalawa etc and Village of Udagalbokka in Hasalaka (very remote without road access) entire village was supplied with Solar Powered Lights. We are apolitical and non-religious. But as Mahatma Gandhi said “To give service to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowed in Prayer” The cost of a Solar Powered Lighting Unit with 4 lights and a FM Radio, landed in Colombo is Aus $ 55.00. A shipment of 100 units is on the way from Hong Kong. AndurenEliyata does not have overheads, and all helpers are volunteers. Your contribution goes to the Purchase, Shipping, Clearing, Custom Expenses & Distribution of Solar Units. All contributions are Tax Deductible in Australia. Every bit helps! Think of our brothers and sisters, without oil for a lamp, without a candle, without power: What their plight would be in darkness, and help us to help them! Blessings!
