The Dharm Shala Home of Benevolence for All Races is making its annual appeal to continue the day to day operations of feeding housing and clothing those who seek assistance with no charge attached. The Dharm Shala not only serves the homeless but others who would come through its 100-year-old gates for consideration many times a heartfelt, moving experience for the administrators. This not only applies here in Albouystown, but also at the Fort Canje, Berbice branch.

The day-to-day expenses of these institutions are exorbitant. Including electricity, telephone, security, maintenance of the premises, stipends to staff and much more too numerous to mention. There are eleven Dharm Shala buildings all devoted to humanitarian charity. There are four buildings of worship – two Anglican Chapels and two Hindu Temples all dedicated, dating back to 1921 by the late Pandit Ramsaroop Maharaj then Harry S Ramsaroop Maharaj in 1966 and now his children.

Donations can be sent to the Treasurer/Secretary, 140 King Edward Street, Albouystown. A receipt will be issued for all donations received.
