Random acts of kindness during the coronavirus outbreak in Sri Lanka

We know that times are tough, but there are still reasons to smile.

A huge thanks to Dr. Ayumi Nomura (Department of Nursing, Tokyo Metropolitan University) for supporting families in need under the COVID19 outbreak in Sri Lanka. She has been serving Sri Lanka for many years. 

Even though this is not the first time you support us, I thought to post this, to appreciate your effort to build our community. She has made her contribution to help people in Beruwala (her ongoing research area) through, Ven. Hadigalle Wimalasara thero, Abinawaramaya, Beruwala. We hope that this donation would be able to help at least 200-300 families in Beruwala area. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciate for the Ven. Hadigalle Wimalasara thero for his guidance throughout the donation process.

Also, we would like to thank Mrs.Motoko Takahashi and Mr. Buddika Killakulam for arranging all the logistics to make Dr. Nomura’s fund-raising event a success and for organizing another excellent fund-raising event together with a Vesak Poyaday event virtually. It was incredible to see that so many people from Japan were able to join the sermon virtually that was conducted by a Buddhist thero. That was a nice opportunity for all the doners to get blessings for their good deeds. More than 150 donors from Japan have given their contribution to this charity. Some of them might never have been to Sri Lanka. Still, they are helping our people because of your great effort.  

You all are such amazing souls who love Sri Lanka as much as we love our motherland. In times like this, we’re reminded of how interconnected we all are. Thank you for being a part of our community. Most of all thank you for your kindness, care, and love and for being the inspiration the world needs.
Once again, thank you Dr. Ayumi Nomura and Mrs. Motoko Takahashi for the amazing support you have given to our community by donating essentials. To all those who took the time to commit, your support and effort are truly appreciated.
