Mississauga West End Buddhist Temple Launching Flood Relief Campaign to help Hardest hit in Eastern Sri Lanka

 First for years the ravages of a brutal war; then a tsunami that killed or displaced half a million or so! Then war again and now, devastating floods! Our compatriots, Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim and Malay brothers and sisters are in the grip of suffering and misery once again. UN, India and neighboring friendly nations in South Asia, China, Japan, USA, Canada, UK etc. have responded opening their hearts to this latest calamity that hit Sri Lanka with the dawn of the New Year 2011 by sending packages of generous aid - financially and by way of essential items. West End Buddhist Cultural Centre is launching a Flood Victims’ Relief Effort effective immediately with January 31, 2011, as cut off date.
