I wrote this under comments on my posting.  As there are requests to share this I. Am posting again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anjalika Silva<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this hour of need I have found useful and meaningful ways to help targeted known families, individuals and destitute kids in Sri Lanka.  We don\u2019t let them starve.  Now it has gone beyond the scope of single handed me and I will share if anyone wants to know more and duplicate the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 1: Send them funds to buy groceries using wise.com<\/a> with proof of receipt and acknowledgment. Need a bank acct at each end. Cheaper than Western Union and bank transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 2:  Due to cost of food, they need to keep phones working when spending hours in lines.  We donate direct to their top up on the phone using www.ding.com<\/a>. A verifiable system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

www.KAPRUKA.com<\/a> is still open for easy ordering from a foreign country using a credit card to be delivered to families. With the address of a family with a nominal fee we get groceries (costly for them but okay at our end inUS$ prices) delivery is confirmed.  If items are not available it shows on the website and if ordered items are not available refunds are made and notified to the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purchase non perishable items and document a list, ship to one address with dependable people to share the contents.  There are reliable shippers and I just packed a box to hand over.  DOOR TO DOOR DELIVERY IS AVAILABLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE OVER HOURS WASTED AT THE CLEARING PLACE.  Test this all the time sending stuff.  No complaints so far. A detailed packing list to the shipper is honored. This provides an opportunity to send them renewable energy items to help with power cuts.  Items can be collected from Amazon.com and a box can be packed at one location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED TO JOIN ME TO SUPPORT 46 children At the Pamunugama children\u2019s Home where I have sent power banks with USB lights and first aid items like band aid, antibiotic cream for wounds, they are appreciated.  I just sent a package hand carried by a kind friend who travelled to Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like to know more, message me. I need help with the 46 children.  A donation of $100 gives the 46 kids and the 7 caregivers food with our donations and they transmit the video recording with blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I DO HOPE THERE WILL BE SOME INTEREST TO GIVE THE NEXT STEP OF INFORMATION.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to do more but with my health limitations this is what I am doing.  A computer, printer and phone keeps me moving along across the globe not just once but in repeated efforts for those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about it.  Now RUNING OFF TO FINISH PACKING ANOTHER BOX READY TO LEAVE TOMORROW with stuff for different people coordinated by one person on the ground with door to door.  There is a time factor to consider but it is worth the wait for those in need.  Today is May 26,2022.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you.  If no one responds I will still continue on the path to keep them from suffering longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
