FOL KOTHTHU DRIVE - 19.05.2024

THANK YOU!

Yesterday morning, we launched the mission of preparing 2000 Koththu and delivering them across Melbourne to our esteemed supporters. It was an intense but a rewarding day, made possible by an incredible army of volunteers who share our values of giving back. From the kitchen to the delivery volunteers and everyone in between, each task was completed with love and dedication of the volunteers who sacrificed their Sunday (and Saturday for preparations) for this mission.

We wholeheartedly thank everyone who contributed in various ways throughout this journey. Your support and generosity were invaluable.

We extend our gratitude to those who placed Koththu orders and sponsored children.

It was truly heartwarming to witness the coming together of our wonderful community for a great cause.

If you ordered Koththu through FOL Koththu Drive please give us your feedback.

EMPOWER CHILDREN IN NEED THROUGH COMMUNITY SUPPORT

HELP LEARN 2023

Earlier this year, as part of its HELP LEARN 2023 Project, Friends of Lanka Inc. (FOL) generously provided essential stationery and educational supplies to 600 economically disadvantaged children from six districts in Sri Lanka. This marked the fourth consecutive year that these children received such invaluable educational assistance.

HELP LEARN 2024

Under its HELP LEARN 2024 Project, FOL is currently endeavoring to secure funds to procure school supplies for those 600 children for the upcoming year. The average cost to supply essential items, including stationery, school bags, lunch boxes, water bottles, and more, amounts to $50 per child.

To successfully deliver its HELP LEARN 2024, FOL humbly requests your support to continue aiding these 600 children for the fifth consecutive year.
