DABAL Representatives Attend the BUDS Annual Event

Deaf and Blind Aid Lanka (DABAL) is pleased to share that our Vice Chairman Mr. Ranjith Chandrasena and our Chairman Mr. Lionel Bandara attended the annual event organised by the Batticaloa Underprivileged Development Society (BUDS).

Following the event, Mr. Ranjith conveyed warm congratulations to the BUDS Chair, Mrs. Muriet, and the organising committee for hosting a truly exceptional evening. Although several other DABAL members had planned to attend, many were called at short notice to support another important fundraising initiative in London on the same night, aimed at contributing to Sri Lanka’s national recovery following the recent devastation.

In his message, Mr. Ranjith highlighted several elements that made the BUDS event particularly impressive:

🌟 Splendid Venue & Excellent Arrangements

The hall was beautifully prepared, with smooth logistics and ample parking facilities that made the occasion welcoming for all attendees.

🍽️ Exceptional Culinary Experience

The food selection and presentation were described as “exceptionally good,” with special appreciation for the thoughtful variety provided for vegetarian guests. DABAL extends sincere thanks to the caterers, commending their outstanding service and recommending them for future events.

💃 Outstanding Bharatha Natyam Performances

The evening featured high‑quality Bharatha Natyam performances delivered by talented young dancers. Their dedication and artistry were recognised with great admiration, and DABAL conveys heartfelt congratulations to the performers.

🤝 Strengthening Partnership Between DABAL and BUDS

DABAL has long supported the Dharsanam School for the Visually Handicapped in the Batticaloa District and remains committed to addressing its ongoing needs, especially during this challenging period.

Mr. Ranjith also emphasised the importance of exploring collaborative opportunities between DABAL, BUDS, and other humanitarian organisations such as LETUSHELPNOW, which share strong global connections and have successfully delivered impactful projects in Batticaloa.

👏 Appreciation & Acknowledgement

DABAL extends sincere appreciation to the BUDS leadership and volunteers for organising a wonderful event at such a modest cost, demonstrating their dedication and commitment to the communities they serve.

We look forward to continued partnership and shared efforts in uplifting underprivileged communities across Sri Lanka.
