2023 Compassionate Projects

Posted on by

Dear compassionate and generous friends,

Thank you very much for your kindness and helping with our compassionate projects in Sri Lanka, USA, and some other countries in the year 2022. You have shown your great generosity, kindness, support by donating and contributing to these projects and events to make them successful. We deeply appreciated your contributions with much gratitude, blessings, merits, and prayers for you, your family, and all.

We plan to continue our compassionate projects in this year 2023.
We are expecting your generous support, contributions and kind participation to make these projects successful for the benefit of many in the society.
(You may donate whatever amount according to your ability)

2023 Compassionate Projects

  • Financial aid for Monks, Nuns, lower-income families, children, and schools in Sri Lanka and in Asia.
    We offer scholarships and schools supplies to those in need. Your kindness and generosity would make a big change in someone's life. In the year 2022, we have offered many scholarships for young monks and children in need in Sri Lanka with the kind supports of many from locally and internationally.
  • Animal liberation program.
    Your funds would go to saving cows and other animals from being slaughtered. They would then be donated to lower income families and village farmers in Sri Lanka to care for them (This would not only help the animals, but would help the poor families they are donated to). Other animals would be released to safe environments and cared for by compassionate people. We have liberated, released and given life to live for many animals. This compassionate project was conducted in many places and was very successful in Sri Lanka with the supports from many compassionate people around the world like you.
  • In addition, we are planning to conduct some of important events and projects in Sri Lanka in order to help the families and children in need due to recent economic crises, hardships.
    1. Donating useful stationaries worth of US$20, SGD$30 to children in need in low income families.
    2. Donating useful medicine and medical supplies to rural hospitals and homes those not get enough medicine, facilities and resources to treat patients and help those who are hospitalized and all others who need special care.
    3. Distributing day to day groceries such as rice bags, lentils, milk, breads, sugar and cooking oils to families in rural areas.

You may contribute to any of these initiatives via monetary donations by sending a check to the temple directly or via online transfer. You may log into our temple website for online donations (https://www.kmcbv.org/donate/)

Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, contributions, and support. We deeply appreciate it with much blessings and prayers for you, your family and all.
