Help "Sandeshaya" to be a voice for the voiceless

Saroj Pathirana is organizing this fundraiser.

It was a late afternoon on a sunny day in July; I was interviewing a political activist near Naga Vihare in Jaffna.

There was just me, a friend and the activist.

A man quietly entered the kovil & unknown to us, and had begun recording our interview on his phone.

As I finished, we saw the man hastily cross the road & hand over the record to a group of unknown men.

That day my fate could have had many endings…

But I continue ...

SUPPORT SANDESHAYA if you believe in progressive news coverage rooted in truth, discussions on the inter-relationship between politics and democracy, gender and justice, and providing on the ground authentic information in an era of “fake & sensational news.”

"Thank you

KEEP SANDESHAYA ON THE AIR

SANDESHAYA IS THE ONLY CHANNEL ON AIR THAT INTELLIGENT AND OPEN CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN.

WE CONVEY THE TRUTH, AN UNDERSTANDING OF ALL THE FACTS AND ANALYSIS THAT HAVE REAL STAKES IN OUTCOMES.

Since January 2022, upon its official launch (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAENKyyvteyNElIWj2hU8ig) I have blended my 25 years of experience with BBC, bringing you news & coverage from across Srilanka.

Through this unique BBC-style public service journalism, I have reached out to independent individuals and organizations like you to deliver the truth impartially.

You may not agree with all my discussions, features or the angle I have taken, but I pledge to continue to be a voice for the voiceless.

So I ask you to walk this journey with me as I boldly explore the changing mood and tone of the digital media atmosphere in Sri Lanka.
