Dear Usan people, friends, and family,
Preschool is a vital part of a child’s education and an important asset to a village. It gives young children the foundation they need to become well prepared for their educational journey, and tremendously increases their opportunities to grow. In order for a child to effectively experience the benefits of preschool, a permanent facility is an utmost need.
Our beloved village is sadly missing a stand-alone preschool building. But thankfully, a great opportunity has been given to Usan to construct a permanent preschool building. Due to the relentless efforts of the Usan Ramanathan Preschool committee, World Vision Lanka has agreed to donate a portion of the funds needed to create the building. The proposal to construct the building requested Rs.37,00,000/=, and World Vision Lanka has agreed to provide Rs.27,00,000/=. This means that the committee has to come up with the remaining Rs.10,00,000/=.
To fulfill this need, the Usan Ramanathan Preschool Development Committee has been formed with Mr. K. Vimalathas as the President, Mrs. Gobika Matheesan as the Secretary, and Mr. K. S. Selvaruban as the Treasurer. This committee is now seeking our help, along with the help of other well wishers, to complete this project.
We, the United People Association of Usan in Canada, are kindly asking for your support, and that you consider donating to help make this dream a reality. On top of the minimum Rs.10,00,000/=, there is always unexpected additional costs for such a big project, and after construction is over, the preschool will need items like furniture, play equipment, etc. to fulfill it’s purpose and goals. Keeping all of this in mind, please donate generously.
For those who wish to donate, you can do so in one of two ways. First, you can do so through the United People Association of Usan in Canada. Please e-transfer your contribution to our Treasurer, Mr. Saravanamuththu Patmakanthan, at pathman.s1@hotmail.com, and then send him a separate email with your full mailing or e-mail address for a receipt. The second way to donate is by directly sending your contribution to the Usan Ramanathan Preschool Development Committee through the Kodikamam branch of the Bank of Ceylon. Please send your donation to the account number 87030672.
For those of you who are able to donate, please do so by February 10, 2021. Any amount can help make a huge difference. However, we do understand that in these unprecedented times, you may not be able to donate, in which case we kindly ask you to support this cause by sharing this post.
The United People Association of Usan in Canada thanks you in advance from the bottom of our hearts for helping create a better life for many children in our home village.
