email from Piyusha Atapattu to Nalini

Dear Madam,
How are you? I hope your mother is better now. Are you back in Australia?
Your donation of Rs 50,000.00 has been added to the Medical Stduents Finacial Asisstance Scheme 'pool' and will be used for student asisistance with immediate effect.I have annexed herewith an official acknowledgment letter and a scanned picture of the receipt from the University. If you let me know your address I can post the receipt to you (I will keep it filed till then.)The PH meter is in use and the toilet repair was completed today! We have not yet used the spirometer though, as accurate values cannot be obtained without calibration, and we are trying to raise funds from our own batchmates to purchase the calibration syringe. However we can use it for student ptacticals. Ruwanmalis's BNFs have arrived and some have already been donated. Dr Preena's donation of a stethescope was reqested by a first year student from Thanamalwila, the first student to enter the faculty from his school. I have e mailed Dr Preena, and I hope he received the e mail. Two used books have been taken by two students in the new batch. I will put up a notice for students regarding the availability of these books and the BNFs. No one as yet asked for Dr Preena's knee hammer set, though a notcie was placed a few weeks before.
Thank you so much madam -your batch I think has pioneered a large sacle donor activity. The faculty is now very interested in forming the alumni foundation and inviting further donors!
Dr Veerasingam was here last week, and delivered the commencement lecture on 'Call of duty', which was wonderful and thought provoking, in this day of trying to acquire more and more. Today he has sent a little book of essays of your batchmates, compiled by Dr Kappagoda and its so lovely.
Thank you again madam, for coming back to the faculty and showing us that giving back is important. There is a subtle change in the faculty, with more people talking about duty and paying back and all that since your visit! I hope a lot of good will come of it. best regards
Piyusha
