Annual Fundraising Evening

On June 6th, 2009 members of the Bridge2Peace Executive Committee hosted its’ annual fundraising evening to raise awareness and donations for Bridge2Peace. A wonderful night was had by families from the Farmington Valley of Connecticut as they learned about Bridge2Peace and the latest developments at the school in Lunugamvehera and our new initiatives.  The event was started with a traditional drumming ceremony and a lighting of the lamp. The children were entertained by a local group who taught them circus tricks and helped them perform a show for the parents.  Delicious food, a combination of traditional Sri Lankan specialties and American style cookout, brought everyone together and a silent auction was held with items donated from around the community to raise funds. Many thanks to all who attended and helped to make this such a successful event.  Please see latest pictures in our gallery.
