It\u2019s an incredible place, that currently cares for and educates 18 children.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, instead of sending gifts to our clients, we contribute to the orphanage. Our donation helps it to provide sufficient food, educational materials, and maintenance, as well as special events for the children and the opportunity for work experience when they reach 18 years old and leave the orphanage.<\/p>\n<p>According to warden Kumari Hami, after a difficult year for the economy, things seem to be settling down, and they look forward to using our donation to improve the infrastructure for the children\u2019s sleeping accommodation. \u201cThe degradation to the ceiling in the children&#8217;s sleeping area is a matter to be addressed and the support we have received so far cannot be valued enough. I am very happy, even our children are always grateful for Botanicoir&#8217;s contributions and what we receive continuously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSri Lanka has come back to some sort of normality, inflation is not a problem anymore, but everything is still very expensive \u2013 we could not manage without the dry rations and other support that Botanicoir provides us.\u00a0 For the sake of our children and everyone else, we hope that things will improve further in Sri Lanka next year,\u201d adds Kumari Hami.<\/p>\n<p>Samantha Balasuriya is passionate about supporting the orphanage. \u201cWe have been supporting this orphanage since 2005. It was originally set up for children left without parents after the devastating tsunami of 2004.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an honour to help such an important organisation and we hope that our donation can go some way towards making the children\u2019s time at the orphanage more comfortable,\u201d adds Sam.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1059\" src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-12-20-at-14.55.47_c7cc05b5-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-12-20-at-14.55.47_c7cc05b5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.botanicoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-12-20-at-14.55.47_c7cc05b5-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-12-20-at-14.55.47_c7cc05b5-1153x1536.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/www.botanicoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-12-20-at-14.55.47_c7cc05b5-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.botanicoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-12-20-at-14.55.47_c7cc05b5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vajira Buddhi Children\u2019s Home in Sri Lanka is very close to our hearts at Botanicoir.
