Army built Buddhist school in Jaffna appeals for more funds

The newly opened Nandarama Tamil Dhamma School in Jaffna has appealed for more funds, reported the government-owned Daily News website.

The school which was built by the Sri Lankan Army and supported by the All Ceylon Buddhist Congress Vice President Sudath Madugalle was constructed to help “Northern children”, who have reportedly shown “great keenness in attending Dhamma lessons”.

See the Daily News article “Northern children keen to learn Dhammahere.

Whilst the Sri Lankan Army is helping to construct Buddhist schools, churches and temples continue to come under attack in the Tamil North-East.

Meanwhile, see how Tami IDP’s were ‘resettled’ earlier this year, here.
