We realise not enough that we are dependant of each other; on the material issue we depend on each other to succeed in our daily needs; that's why we have a commitment to all living creatures (Kalu Rinpoche). Every human being experiences in his or her way a kind of "suffering". That's a fact in our lives. - All creatures are responsible for what they do; they are heirs of their  actions - Buddha.   

At this moment an economic and social disaster is going on; many skilled people are leaving their homeland because of the crisis; for example Sri Lankan Airways lost more than 80 pilots, so many airplanes cannot fly. Doctors, technicians, managers, computerexperts etc. escape their country; this is called the "braindrain". We have to stop this exodus. Crowdfunding is one of the tools to convince the people that  they have to rebuild their country; they can receive financial support to overcome their social problems.  Besides crowdfunding is also meant to attract (foreign) investors; we can garantee them a profit of 100% within one year, but they can only participate if they give 10% of the profit for social projects in Sri Lanka. We already started in Dunakedeniya to give 40 schoolchildren schoolbooks, rucksacks, schooluniforms, shoes, pencils, stationary and  waterbottles. It is our intention to expand the social projects all over Sri Lanka. More than 6 million people have almost nothing to eat, so foodprograms need to be set up, especially for the schoolchildren all over the country. The government has a debt of more than 10 billion dollars to India and China; Sri Lanka is not able to pay back immediately. Firm negotiations of the political leaders with those countries are necessary to restore the economic crisis. Foreign currency will be needed, so attraction of foreign investors has a high priority. Also foreign multinationals like Unilever, Jacobi and Heineken etc. in Sri Lanka need to show that the income of their employees should be raised to an acceptable level; approximate 350 dollars for a manager in one month is  not enough. The power of trade-unions should be enhanced, so that negotiations about wage disputes can lead to a higher lifestandard for most employees.
