Donations
It is heartening to see this kind of response.
To be certain,
Transfer funds,via local contacts,[preferably via the local alumni group,and local bank contacts]
Define the uses as intended by the donor.
I have seen many examples of the funds not being used or the gift,not used properly[observed much of this post tsunami]
Do not remain anonymous[unless absolutely necessary]
This leaves room or abuse,
As is common in Lanka and the rest of the world.
It is not confined to Lanka or the east,
Money,,donations,tend to create room for
Corruption and abuse.
Create a path for proper checks and balances.
Dear Dr. Nalika Rodrigo,
With reference telephone conversation you had with me, I would like to send requested information.
Funds can be made by cheque or it can be done by electronically.
The cheque should be drawn in favour of “Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo” . Cheque can be sent to Librarian, Medical Library, Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, Kynsey Road, Colombo 08, with a covering letter mentioning that funds should be utilized for the subscription of Books & Journals. Then the Senior Assistant Bursar of the faculty should have authority to transfer the money to the “Library Development Funds” ledger account that is maintained by the Faculty of Medicine.
Money can be transferred by electronically, using the following information.
Bank Account Name: Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo
Bank Name: Peoples Bank
Bank Branch Name: Townhall branch
Bank Account Number: 167-1001-1317-0313
Swist code: PSBKLKLXA 023
Please make request from the donors to send a letter including electronic transaction detail, to the Librarian, Medical Library, Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, Colombo 8. That kind of letter will be helped to transfer money to our Library development Funds.
I suppose, detail I have given is enough now. Please contact me for further verification.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely
Chandrani Kuruppu
