College Old Boys Association of America ( NCOBAA)in association
with Seva Vanitha Army Branch in Sri Lanka launch “Ranaviru
Kids Fund in USA” to offer financial assistance
for the education of needy children of disabled and deceased
Armed Forces Veterans. The most deserving eligible children
are selected by a committee of Seva Vanitha Army Branch.
There
are two types of scholarship programs; Junior scholarship
(Year 1 -5 ) $ 90.00 per year and Senior Scholarship (Year
6 -14 ) $ 120.00 per year. You can select your child and
type of scholarship. Also you can name your scholarship
under your loved ones; Parents, sisters, brothers, son,
daughter or Friend. Commitments of Sponsorship are needed
for minimum of two years; however you can start the process
with one year contribution.
The
funds collected, are sent directly to Seva Vanitha Army
Branch, where it will be deposited to individual child’s
Bank Account. We will provide you with Child’s Name,
Parents information, Address, Name of School, Bank and
Account number. You would be able to write to them, visit
them when you visit Sri Lanka and see what a progress/
difference you bring to this child’s world.
These
Children didn’t create wars either supported any
wars; however they have become destitute of war. They
need your compassion, support to enhance their knowledge
and make them better citizens. Nalandian appeal to everyone
to help this effort to help veteran families in Sri Lanka.
