Thanks to Hindu Heritage Endowment and Other Donors

Dear Bodhinatha,

In order to improve the living conditions of our children at the Yogaswami Girls Home in Batticaloa, we constructed a new dormitory building as the second storey above the kitchen, which was newly built last year.

The reason for building the dormitory upstairs was that the village Sitthandy — where the Girls home is located — is prone to floods. Last year, the home was impacted a great deal by the December flooding in the eastern province of Sri Lanka. We are hoping to complete the building before the rainy season starts.

Herewith, I am enclosing some photos of the new building under construction showing the second storey dormitory.

As you can see the beds are too crowded, and they do need a new building. But at least for now everyone will be dry when the rains come.

Our sincere thanks go out to the Hindu Heritage Endowment and other kind-hearted souls who have made this project possible. It is because of this generosity that the girls are getting a new dormitory.

In Peace,

Rishi Thondunathan
