Tuesday night in Dupont Circle in Washington, DC, 75 people came out to learn about and support two charities in Sri Lanka. We had Sri Lankan bites and raffle prizes including dinner, hotel nights, and salon packages. Everyone's generosity led to a total of $2,000 raised in the course of just three hours! We even got some folks out on the dance floor to some Latin beats. Overall, it was a great launch in DC—multi-ethnic Sri Lankans mingled with supportive donors to learn more about the situation of the IDPs in Sri Lanka's Vanni.
Lanka Solidarity would like to thank everyone who was able to make it out and donate to ACT Lanka and the Neelan Tiruchelvam Trust. We look forward to more such events in the Washington, DC area in the near future.
People interested in donating can still do so. Please contact Sashi.
