Dear All,
This is to support a man, a Sri Lankan of our own who has already created a small miracle to save the lives of poorest of the poor.
He is Dr. Wijaya Godakumbura.
He came out with a simple idea to replace the traditional bottle lamp used in poor Sri Lankan homes with a safe lamp which does not turn over and catch fire.
He has silently carried out this mission and have so far handed over 775,000 units to save twice the number with possible burns and loss of life.
We should be proud of him as he is now being short listed amongst 12 finalists to be voted for the coveted BBC World Challenge 2009, organized by BBC, Newsweek and Shell.
Kindly pass this message to as many colleagues, friends and relations in Sri Lanka and overseas, and get as many votes as possible, to make this project the winner. If he wins, another section of poor people back home will win the ability to live safely, without burns or loss of lives.
Please ignore if you have already voted.
