'South East Asian Splendour'

The Young Muslim Womens' League (YMWL) will present 'South East Asian Splendour' on May 4, from 10 am to 3 pm. at 'The Excellency', Charlemonte Road, Colombo 6. It is the annual fundraiser of the YMWL. The proceeds will be used to fund on-going projects.

The YMWL currently funds the upkeep and maintenance of a creche for underprivileged children in Kirulapone, grants scholarships to deserving and needy students for university education and funds the welfare and education of 22 tsunami-affected orphans in Galle and Kirinda.

The YMWL maintains a female surgical ward at the Teaching Hospital, Kalubowila.

'South East Asian Splendour' is a cultural and musical extravaganza drawn from diverse cultures of the South East Asian region followed by a scrumptious lunch, bringing the rich flavours of the South Asian region.

Many surprises are on the cards.
