Int: Med Heath Org: ( IMHO) is a group od Docs, A/Cs, Lawyers etc; in USA, PURELY Voluntary, without any over head costs( except- may be for some expenses like money transfers. Have 'offices' all over the world with many with Tax Exempt status. They help & aid/ raise funds-  Not only in SL & other countries too.
The Burn Unit will need renovation of an old Space, equipping like an ICU style & other Stuff. Staffing & training in SL or India so on so forth. Prolonged Plastic surgery Care. All help is welcome. This will be the Only one at present in N&E.  I would  think in a Teaching Hospital is essential- it has advanced a lot- I would think there will be a lot of burn victims, children & adults in these areas.
Sincerely,
Jey/Gunsie

Thought for the day

When we die, our money remains in the bank... 
Yet, when we are alive, we don't have enough money to spend.
In reality, when we are gone, there is still a lot of money not spent. 
 
One business tycoon in China passed away. His widow was left with $1.9 billion in the bank, and she married his chauffeur.
His chauffeur said:- 
"All the while, I thought I was working for my boss... It is only now, that I realize that my boss was all the time, working for me !!!" 
 
The cruel reality is:
It is more important to live longer than to have more wealth. 
So, we must strive to have a strong and healthy body, It really doesn't matter who is working for who. 
In a high end hand phone, 70% of the functions are useless!
For an expensive car, 70% of the speed and gadgets are not needed.
If you own a luxurious villa or mansion, 70% of the space is usually not used or occupied.
How about your wardrobes of clothes? 
70% of them are not worn!
A whole life of work and earning... 
70% is for other people to spend. 
 
So, lets make a New Year resolution to make full use of our 30%.

Dear Batchmates



It is comforting  to know  that we have  reached  the last  few  days  of  planning of  the Batch Re-Union  scheduled   on  7th July 2018  ,  at   Jet Wing  Lagoon  ,  Negombo.



While  thanking  those  who responded to the  e mail messages  , made  reservations  in  the  Hotel ,  sent    photographs  for  publication  in  the   Souvenir,  and  been  constantly  in  touch with  us,  there are yet  a  few,  who  still wish to  join in  the  fun , but  have not  booked  their  rooms   and  send   the   photos. 



A few  more  rooms  are still  available  in  the  hotel.



For those  who  intend  to  take  part  in  the  event ,  day  programme  alone  , or   not , I request you ,to please  send  your  recent   photo  as soon  as  possible.  We  have  to  plan  the  contents of  the Souvenir  , giving  the  printer  sufficient  time to complete  the  job.



We have  unanimously  agreed to  have a meeting in  the morning  of 7th  July , with minimum emphasis on  Clinical Medicine .  Instead  , we propose to give an opportunity for anyone, and everyone   from  the  gathering  to  recount  and  share ,  memorable instances ,  that  are  funny  and  humerous ,  in the Medical School.



We  will give  them    5 - 10  minutes  each.   Please  write  to  this  email  address , so  that the  programme can  be  arranged.

Yes.  I  received  the  photographs   of  both of  you.  I  also  read  your  names  in  the  list  of  Room  bookings  from  the  Hotel.

We  plan  to  start  the  event ,   on  7th July 2018,  at  9.00  am  with  Registration  of  participants  , charging  Rs  3500.00   per  person to cover  the   cost  of  the  Hotel charges  for  the Hall ,  Lunch  &  tea.

Sadly, though I had intended to come initially, we have a wedding in London on 8th July, I am unable to come along. I will miss you all. I did advise Wedi I may not get there.

Thank you for organizing a great reunion. Hope everyone enjoys it thoroughly and returns with great memories. Will love to have photos on line.

A big thank you to Wedi and the organizers for all the hard work.

Kind regards,
