Since the partnership with Raise Sri Lanka, we on a mission to collect USD 15,000 to sponsor the 150 children next 5 months. We want your help to create awareness and help us reach our primary goal. If we manage to reach our primary target we will be able to help more malnourished infants and toddlers to get out of the misery they are in today.
