Venerable Parawahera Chandaratana Thero Offers Support to UOC Students

In light of the economic crisis facing Sri Lanka, many underprivileged students at the university are experiencing financial difficulties. In response to this issue, Venerable Parawahera Chandaratana Thero, the chief priest of the Buddhist Temple in Paris, has agreed to offer financial assistance to these students. The request for this aid was made by the Vice Chancellor, Senior Professor (Chair) H.D. Karunaratne. Approximately 400 students have been identified as needing support, and Reverend Chandaratana Thero has signed an agreement to provide 5000 LKR per month for 100 students for a period of three years starting in 2023.
