Giving Hand...
Pictures Taken By My Family And Friends On A Trip To Lunawa Sri Lanka To Provide Support. Help.
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your continuous efforts in helping tsunami Victims of Sri Lanka.
Donation Drive Update: (Food, Med Supplies)
On 06th of January we delivered all your donations to the Buddhist Temple in Queens, NY. It was a long drive due to the rain. Heavy load of the truck made it hard to drive in the rain, but I certainly enjoyed driving 20 miles an hour in the Midtown tunnel, ignoring the continuous honking behind me. While I was driving I could not help wondering if all my efforts would be a drop in the bucket, compared to the magnitude of this disaster. We reached the temple around 6.30 p.m. Erin and I unloaded the truck in to basement of the temple ourselves, since most of the volunteers have left by then or were busy upstairs. It was rather touching to see that most of the room was filled with big boxes that had “FAMILY BOX’ written on it. As one of the temple volunteers has explained to us, they have been working hard on sorting out the donations, and creating boxes that consist essentials for a families in need. I thought I would share this with you, in case if you were like me, and wondered if your contribution made a difference. It did.
I would like to specially thank all my friends at Baltimore County Department of IT, Towson University Registrars office, NBCOT, and all my other friends who had helped in fund raising, providing transportation and encouragement me in this effort.
Money Isn't The Only Help Help does not have to be money… You can help us with your efforts, prayers and
encouragement. Thank you for your support!

It was like
yesterday, when I walked in the Fort of Galle holding my dad's hand. We walked along the
gigantic brick walls of famous Galle Fort. Then I was not tall enough to look over the
wall to get a glimpse of beautiful body of water, and the sunshine spread
along reflecting silver lines. Every time we went to my dad's hometown, we made it a
point to stop by the Fort to capture a glimpse of the beauty, and the rich history of the
city of Galle.
