Dear Family, Friends and Colleagues,

No doubt you have all seen the devastation caused by the Cyclone in South East Asia in the last few days. To me (and to some of you) the devastation in Sri Lanka is personal. I was born and raised in Sri Lanka and cannot sit back and do nothing to help the people of that country. Unfortunately, I am not able to physically join the rescue teams (would have loved to) and I am resorting to the next best option; Fund raising via GoFundMe. All funds will be directed to The Association of Professional Sri Lankans in the UK, and any donation will help make an impact. They are are UK Registered Charity, No 1145786. I am also attaching the link to this very professional organisation - https://apsl.org.uk/

Please check it out.

I sincerely hope that you will donate whatever you are able to. Thanks in advance for your kindness and generosity towards this cause that means so much to me. It would also mean a lot to the people (and the animals) of Sri Lanka who have had to face many calamities and endure great adversity in the past few years. The international community have always risen to their needs and the nation is always grateful for that. But the resilience of the people has always been amazing. So lets do this once again and help them rise up. Thank you very much. Rosemary
