Fund raising for the construction of a Center / Library / Organic Farming Model in Netiya, Wariyapola and our campaign
What:
1) CENS has 45 direct volunteers spread all over Sri Lanka and other 2000 people linked with the project and all these people need a physical center to connect the network.
2) There are three thousand books stored in improper conditions and they are needed to be stored in a proper library. This will also attract university students to research and therefore it is a way to spread the project.
3) An organic farming model must be developed as the one we had for the last three years, but unfortunately finally it was lost as it was not belonged to us legally. There the vegetables will be grown with indigenous seeds based on the Golden Spiral Maya Model, which has a straight relation to the Buddhist knowledge of consciousness expansion. If we grow we evolve in spiral, if we stay the same we just go in circles. The food harvested in our model organic farm is used to cook for the people who come to learn and work.
Where: We have a small plot of land in the village of Netiya, in the state Wariyapola. This plot is enough to build the center and the library as well as growing the Golden Spiral with local indigenous seeds.
How much: The housing project is already developed and the budget to build the center, the library and to start the model organic farming is of 500.000 SL rupees (3.000 dollars). With this amount it will be bought bricks, sand, cement, roof and the toilet facilities.
1200 dollars will be gathered by the 40 direct Sri Lankan volunteers .1800 dollars by the 6 foreigners who have been in the project. These 6 people will find one more partners each and each funder will send 150 dollars twice (Aug 2015 / Aug 2016), by Western Union 150 dollars.
There will be a commitment of these 12 foreigners to send this amount twice (August 2015 and August 2016), so in the first year we can build the center/ library/ and organic farming model, as well as keep one person constantly working there; and in the second year the CENS Organic Farming Model project can further develop as well as the support for the local environmental courses and campaigns.
