You are invited to this special fundraiser event, organised by our community of Women in Solidarity (WIS).
The event is a Yogic Kirtan (chanting and sing-a-long to devotional music) as a special blessing to show our support for the people of Sri Lanka. Chai and light refreshments will be served afterwards.
The Evening will begin with a special puja ceremony (blessing) followed by Kirtan by the soulful sounds and music by Marija Janev.
The $50 cost of your ticket will go towards the purchase of a Coconut Coal Stove for a needy family/women in Sri Lanka. Due to the current economic situation and shortage of cooking gas + high cost of living disadvantaged families/women in Sri Lanka, now have no alternative than to cook their daily meals on an open firewood stove, outdoors.
The Coconut Coal Stove is a novel invention and made by a local manufacturer using offcuts and sustainable materials in Sri Lanka.
