~ Sponsorship Program for DBT Trainees ~

 

Since the signing of MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) between the government and L.T.T.E., many applications seeking admission to Diyagala Boys' Town have been pouring in from all over the country children belonging to different religions and communities.

 

At the moment there are 150 boys following the four year residential program. It is possible for Diyagala Boys' Town to admit another 100 boys but the only impediment is finance, as we do not wish to limit admission due to financial strain and to overcome this obstacle; after discussing with the managers it was proposed to inaugurate a DBT Sponsorship Program and seek assistance from friends, well-wishes, those who appreciate our services to the poor, from Philanthropists and other organizations to help us in the measure possible and contribute generously to this sponsorship program. Every donation will be officially acknowledge by the administration.

 

This is how it works......
