Former Sri Lanka cricketers Roshan Mahanama and Chaminda Vaas have got together in an initiative to support the daily wage earners of Sri Lanka who are facing severe difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the ongoing lockdown, many people have lost their method of earnings and are in a difficult position to feed their families. The initiative will help the daily wage earners by providing them with essential goods.
Initiated by Dr. Krishan Thalagahage and team, Vaas and Mahanama have joined the cause, urging the public to donate essentials such as rice, noodles, dhal, salmon, dry fish, sprats, sugar, chillies, curry powder and biscuits.
“They are our own fellow citizens, if we don’t feed them, who will? Let’s get together to make a difference,” said Mahanama.
“You can always make a difference in the lives of others,” said Vaas.
The essential items are requested to be delivered to Premier Health Care, 282 A2, Galle Road, Mount Lavinia (Second Floor of Bank of Ceylon Building in Mount Lavinia). Due to the ongoing islandwide curfew, the public are informed that they can also make cash donations. They are kindly requested to make online transactions. – KR
