SLMANA owes a debt of gratitude to Dr Milinda Seneviratne for very successfully achieving the SLMANA mission during his term.

I am energized and optimistic to take over the reins and thank him for helping with the transition.

We are only too aware of the sadness of the pandemic as well as the current fund raising dilemmas facing charities world wide. This spurs us to search for new and innovative paths to raise funds in the coming year. Meanwhile, I hope to emphasize health promoting activities for the Sri Lankan community in the
tri-state area.

I urge our membership and benefactors to join me in these efforts and with your enthusiasm and faith in our resilience I see only good times ahead.

The SLMANA East fund allocation committee comprised of 5 members diligently evaluate each request for funds with particular attention to accountability , on site evaluation of the project and follow up. We then submit our report to the executive committee which will then make a final decision.

We strive to continue our work with integrity and transparency ensuring that your generous donations will be given to the most deserving medical projects in SriLanka.
