Our batch mate Sanjee Nilanga Perera (affectionately known also as “Big-Bird”) is suffering from a serious kidney disease. He has no option but to go for a transplant as soon as possible. The good news is that he has managed to find a donor. The bad news is that the costs involved in the whole process (approximately 1.2 million Rupees) are not something that Sanjee can afford. Therefore he has reluctantly agreed to the idea of accepting donations.

This is an appeal going out to all of you to help, in any way possible, to save his life.

His private account information is given below. If you wish to donate any amount of money, you can directly deposit to his private account or hand over the money to our batch president Mr. Manod Daminda (Tel : 0773640844). We would like to keep track of how much money was collected from our batch mates. Therefore if you decide to donate directly to his account, please also call and inform Manod.

Bank : National Savings Bank
Branch : Kollpity
Account Name : W. S. N. Perera
Account Number : 100010902853

Back in school, Sanjee was a student in Mr. Percy’s O/L class (9/10 G) and Mr. Tissa’s A/L class (M1). He joined the Sri Lanka Army immediately after leaving school in 1990 and to-date is serving the SLA. Out of his 20 years of service, he has served in the North and East for more than 16 years. He is married with two kids (11 year old girl and 6 year old son).

Please dig deep into your pockets and save the life our friend, our classmate, a husband and a father.

Thank you.
