Four years ago, as we completed the ground floor of the monks’ quarters, the onset of COVID-19 forced us to halt construction. The worsening pandemic created significant uncertainty, compelling us to occupy the building before it was finished. Additionally, the country declared bankruptcy, further complicating the situation.
Now, with improvements in both health and economic conditions, we believe it is time to resume construction to prevent further decay of the unfinished building. We humbly seek your blessings and generous support through voluntary contributions.
With Metta,
-Bhanthe Ginnaliye Dhammaloka
