email from Bernard
Dayasiri
Did enjoy very much reading about your progress,
And of others too.
Our group, and some close to our group,
Can contribute very much to the development in medical services.
Several are retired and some may not be as mobile as they were, a few yrs ago.
Discuss this with those you come across often and listen to their opinions, proposals,
And see what we can come up with?
The combined knowledge within our groups, is something of the magnitude that Sri Lanka
Was never able to muster in the past.
Before more of the group joins the less able group,
It may be worthwhile to look at any and all possibilities, how much can be contributed in ideas and action,
And how it can benefit the present and future generations.
Just a thought, maybe it’s worth pursuing, and we can anticipate many obstacles
As we proceed, if we decide to..
Ref our meeting next yr,
Someone suggested many non clinical proposals.
One was Veddha and its impact on past and present sri lanka,
We can start, a limited, interactive discussion, limiting each to 3-5 minutes
From the various literature[much of this in the old writings, Portuguese and Dutch times, is not readily available]
Their assimilation in the Vanni, and other areas[as vanni ettho etc]
And intermarriage with so many Lankan cultures,
Would be interesting,
And more so as their original population is dwindling now less than 1%] with extensive inter marriage
Change of vocation ,learning other languages, living among other communities,
Their impact, contribution, and survival maybe of interest and significance to all of us, who took so much for granted.
