Kitchen Remodeling work completed
We are pleased to inform completion of the dana hall kitchen remodeling which included new kitchen cabinets, quartz countertops, new wash basins, as well as a two-bay kitchen sink, at a total cost of $12,565. This project would not have been possible without the generous donations made by the families of Vindu Kathriarachchi, Naveen Ranaweera, Indika Rathnayake, and Asanka Samaraweera. May the blessings of the triple gem be with them!
