Donation of Critical Medicine

From the proceeds of the Silver Gala Ball in May 2022 and donations from generous donors, MCPPA Victoria purchased much needed medicine from India for Apeksha hospital (Sri Lanka), as advertised. Unfortunately, due to a mix up at the Medical Supplies Division of the Ministry of Health – Sri Lanka, the medicine has been distributed to District General Hospital in Embilipitiya. The Medical Supplies Division confirmed that the medicine was already in use at Embilipitiya hospital.

Even though MCPPA Victoria intended to deliver medicine to Apeksha hospital, we are grateful that the medicine has been delivered to a place where there was a need for the same medicine.
 
MCPPA Victoria is thankful to everyone who donated towards this project.

Further information and documentary proof is available for anyone upon request, as we cannot post bills and payment receipts on public platforms.

Water Purification Plant Installation

MCPPA Victoria has installed 2 water purification devices and water tanks  at Siwalakulama  and Kurunegala from the funds raised from the major fundraising event, the annual dinner dance – “Blast from Past 2018. The assistance from various sponsors, well-wishers, and the great efforts of our Association members. 

In order to help our fellow Sri Lankans living in rural areas who are suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease, which is considered to be aggravated due to lack of clean drinking water,  we installed this water tank at the premises of Sri Ashokarama Temple in Anuradhapura, Periyakulama, Siwalakulama (35 Kms from Anuradhapura) with the guidance of Professor Channa Jayasumana (MBBS,PhD, FRCP Edin – Head, Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, Rajarata University, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka) and the assistance of ChemeeRo Pty Ltd.

Our 2nd project was a joint venture accomplished in partnership with Ex 23rd Colombo Girl Guides Association of Musaeus College. It was completed at the premises of Algama Rrajamaha Viharaya in Kurunegala, Sri Lanka.

  • Carbon Filter – Every 10 -12 months
  • Mineral Filter – Every 12 – 15 months
  • Post Carbon Filter – Every 12 -15 months

To support this maintenance MCPPA Vic organized a “food drive” in 2021.
