SRI LANKA Buddhists, Catholics aid war refugees

So while the Tamil Diaspora blocks the streets of Toronto for days, making the lives of Canadians difficult in order to save their terrorist leader, the Sri Lankans in Canada, US and other countries have collected aid to send to the IDPs. Did any of those protestors care to collect any aid for their kith & kin instead of helping their terrorist leader. Now we find in the news item below that the Buddhists who these protestor try to accuse of ill treating them, have joined the other religious groups on Sri Lanka, to collect aid for the Tamil civilians saved from the LTTE terrorists. Does this sound like a genocide or "generosity" by the Sinhalese and all of Sri Lanakns? - Sinhaya

DEHIWELA, Sri Lanka (UCAN) -- Buddhists and Catholics in Colombo, shocked by the plight of tens of thousands of Tamil civilians caught up in Sri Lanka’s civil war, have organized relief collection for those displaced.

With about 185,000 refugees confined in government-controlled camps across the Jaffna peninsula, about 300 Buddhist monks took to the Colombo-Galle Highway on April 29 for a Pindapatha Charikawa (walk collecting alms), to collect relief items.

Buddhist monk Venerable Bellanwila Wimalarathana Thera, who organized the walk, said they wanted to create awareness among Buddhists in the country over the “desperate conditions their Tamil brothers and sisters were facing in the refugee camps” and to take steps to help them.
