A bouquet to our readers

These two simple words hardly seem adequate to the overwhelming response from you our dear readers to the appeal by the Sunday Times to help save the life of “our baby”, yours and ours. Yes, you adopted the ‘Bubble Baby of Sri Lanka’, rallied round Sanjana Praveen Shivanka and let the donations flow in, to enable his parents K.B.N. Damayanthi and K.W. Neil Anura Shantha of Dippitigala, Lellopitiya in Ratnapura to take him to the Apollo Hospital in Chennai for that life-saving bone marrow transplantation.

 

Selfless love in comic

Depicting a great personality like Mother Teresa and her love and compassion for humanity by way of pen and ink is not easy. But up to the task was Lankan artist Athula Siriwardane who was chosen to illustrate in comic form a biography of this beatified saviour of the poor and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. The book published by Amar Chithra Katha (ACK) Media was launched on August 26 to coincide with Mother Teresa’s 100th birth anniversary.
