Toys For Northern Children

Posted on May 5, 2009

ACT is requesting donations of toys, games and colouring items for displaced children in the Vavuniya and Padaviya Hospitals. Apart from the urgent medical needs, it is important to remember that there are many injured children here and they need to have some fun and distraction as well as medication.

If you have any clean used or new toys (or games, coloring books, stickers) please drop them off this week at the collection point below.

Collection Point (Mon-Fri, 9-5)

Radhika Philip/ACT
c/o Investor Access Asia
60, Fifth Lane
Colombo 3

Please contact Neesha (inventory@actlanka.org) prior to delivery.

Alternately, you can make a donation into any Sri Lanka NDB branch to the account below or via bank transfer from abroad. Please send a mail to accounts@actlanka.org with your name and donation number and that you’d like the amount allocated for toys.

Action & Care Trust
NDB Bank, Sri Lanka
Account No: 100001018418
SWIFT Code: NDBSLKLX

For any queries about the Toy Drive please contact toys@actlanka.org.

This need is not medically urgent these children need hope as well as healing. It’s a small thing, but a toy or a game can mean a lot to a child, especially one who’s seen significant trauma and has very little. We hope you can help.
