Help Sri Lankan Monastery Recover After Devastating Floods from Cyclone Ditwah

To partake in the giving spirit so important during the holiday season, I’m asking my friends, family, and community to consider helping support the International Institute of Theravada Buddhism (IIT) in my family's home country of Sri Lanka, which has been severely impacted by the recent floods after Cyclone Ditwah.

The IIT Monastery has been a cornerstone of education, meditation, and humanitarian work in Sri Lanka for decades. The flooding has caused damage to their facilities, disrupted their programs, and put the monks and students at risk. Every donation, big or small, will help the institute recover, rebuild, and continue its vital work.

Why it matters:

-Restore damaged buildings, roads, and essential facilities

-Support ongoing educational and meditation programs

-Provide immediate relief for monks and students affected by the floods

Your support will make a real difference for a community that has given so much to others.
