The Burn Unit. For Jaffna Hospital
Inbox
| x |
|
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%.Go for medical check-ups even if not sick.
Drink more water, even if not thirsty.
Learn to let go, even if faced with grave problems.
Endeavor to give in, even if you are in the right.
Remain humble, even if you are very rich and powerful.
Learn to be contented, even if you are not rich.
Exercise your mind and body, even if you are very busy.
Make time for people you care aboutemail sent by Kamalini Kanapathippillai

Dear
Batchmates
It is
comforting to know that we have
reached the last few
days of planning of
the Batch Re-Union scheduled on

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.
A
Certificate of attendance will be
provided to those who need one.
Final Programme will be sent
shortly.
Thank you

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.
Thereafter
, we plan to commence the
meeting at 11.00 am
and finish it
by 1.00 pm for
Lunch.
As you
can see, we need to
restrict the time
given for presentations ,etc.
The Committee
has decided to offer
both of you, 30
minutes for your
presentation. You will
have to decide whether it
is 15 /15 or
otherwise.
The Final programme will be posted

Thank you Jey and Wedi.
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,
Victor Gnanadurai.
