The
other phase of Chaminda Vaas
By Marlon Fernandopulle
Sri Lanka's Premier medium pace bowler Chaminda Vaas
made a crucial breakthrough when he donated essential school items
to one hundred under privileged school children from Norton Bridge
in the Maskeliya district on Friday.
It
was Chaminda Vaas's first act in this newly elected role through
the Muralitharan,Vaas Gunasekera Foundation to which the Lankan
medium pace bowler became a partner this month.
According
Kushil Gunasekera the live wire manager of the three-pronged foundation
"It was indeed a very touching moment as all the young school
children accepted the goodies from Chaminda so gracefully. They
seemed to have appreciated his presence more than the gifts themselves.
The school children received a school bag, shoes, books and uniforms
from the Lankan cricketer".
The
ceremony took place at the Wimalasurendra power station premises
in Norton Bridge arranged by their welfare group as per the initiative
taken by the engineer in charge Mr Saumya Kumarawadu and the entire
presentation was coordinated by the Foundation of which the founder
Trustee is Kushil Gunasekera. |
