Dr. Kappagoda



email from Linda Paumer

Dr. K - Invitation to view




I have a healthy collection of email addresses from the time when preparing for the Celebration of Life we held for Tissa Kappagoda at the end of March. I realized many of you possibly would like to have access to the taping of that service and hence it is linked here. Please email if you have any questions or need help with these files.
I miss him dearly, as I know you do too.

Dear Group:

The UC Davis School of Medicine is starting a scholarship exchange program called the “Kappagoda Scholars”.  This exchange is with the University of Peradeniya School of Medicine in Kandy Sri Lanka.  This was Tessa’s dream for a long time, but it took a while to begin and get all the players to agree on a program.

To start the program we will bring Sri Lankan medical student to UCD for a period of clinical training.  The inaugural exchange will start this academic year.  Depending on funds we hope to expand the program so that we can bring Sri Lankan veterinary students from the University of Peradeniya to UCD as well. 

If anyone would like to contribute to this fund (University of California, School of Medicine Kappagoda Scholars Fund) OR would like to provide housing for Sri Lankan medical students (in Sacramento) for a period of 4 or 8 weeks please let  me know.  The funds will be used exclusively to pay for costs related to student travel and accommodations.   I will send around the bios of the first Sri Lankan students once they are selected.  They will be here in Northern California from early January through mid February and will all be very strong students who speak English fluently.

Thanks,

Michael
