It's heartening to see such generous contributions and collaborative efforts for a noble cause. The Rotary International District 3220 and the Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan, along with Mr. Nahil Wijesuriya, have made a significant impact on the Little Hearts Project in memory of Agnes Wijesuriya. The donation of LKR 1 Billion to the Lady Ridgeway Hospital's Cardiac and Critical Care Complex is a commendable initiative, especially for the installation of the much-needed air conditioning system.Acknowledgements go out to Rotarian Dinali B Dandeniya, Rotarian Gerald De Saram, Dr. Duminda Samarasinghe, and Mr. Nandike Samaranayake for their dedicated efforts in facilitating the donation process. The Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan's ongoing commitment to the Lady Ridgeway Hospital through the Two Hearts Project, providing life-changing heart surgeries for children with congenital heart disease, showcases the positive impact that collaborative initiatives can have on communities.
Special thanks are extended to corporate and private sponsors, as well as project partners like Linde Foundation, Gift of Life Sri Lanka, and International, for their continuous support over the years. The involvement of medical professionals such as Dr. Duminda Samarasinghe, Dr. Kanchana Singappuli, Dr. Mugunthan Sithamparanathan, and Dr. Malik de Soysa underscores the comprehensive and multi-stakeholder approach in addressing the healthcare needs of children in Sri Lanka.
The collective efforts of all involved parties exemplify the spirit of compassion and community service, ultimately contributing to the betterment of healthcare facilities and the well-being of children in Sri Lanka.
