Support for the development
and construction of a Buddhist School is very important, the objectives of this
school are different from other schools because most of the young students they
accept into the school are a mix of homeless, abandoned parentless and other
young people throughout Sri Lanka.
Sri Sumantindarama Buddhist
temple (Rajamaha Viharaya) and Buddhist school (Sadananda Pirivena) are located
at Doranagoda in Gampaha district Western region in Sri Lanka is an ancient
temple built during the rein of king Devanampiyatissa 236-180 B.C.
Sadananda pirivena, the
Education Institution for monks as well as boys attached to this temple was establishment
in 01.01.1891 by Most Ven. Giridara Ratanajoti Maha thero. At present 45 monks
and 26 boys coming from various parts of Sri Lanka are staying at the school. We
supply their hostel facilities, electricity, water, foods, cloths,
medicine,school material and education in this institution.
The buildings for the monks and
dining hall in this institution are more than 100 years old and in a dilapidated
condition, unfit for human habitation. Due to the lack of funds available in
this area, at the moment it has been impossible to construct sufficient
buildings to accommodate the student population of the institution.
Now with the support of myself
and La Reserve Club our aim is to ensure that this school is not only maintained
to a good standard but also the school is expanded to allow more students to
enter its doors and to ensure that its good work continues for the next 100
years.
