With heartfelt respect, I make this urgent request from my dear friends, relatives, and well-wishers.
Friendly Actions for Social Integration and Achievements, my friendship-based voluntary efforts have always aimed to support equity, quality, and practical education, and the upliftment of children affected by poverty, loss of livelihood, and social vulnerability. These efforts are essential not only to prevent and reduce the cycle of socio-economic decline but also to provide a strong and unshakeable pathway out of it.
With this conviction, I humbly present this appeal to all my dear friends, relatives, and well-wishers.
Considering the challenges our nation faces today, it is our duty to ensure a secure future for our younger generation and to establish a better foundation in education. By guaranteeing equity, quality, and practical education, we can help reduce the continuous cycle of vulnerability and strengthen the cycle of resilience.
In Sri Lanka, many children from the Fishing, Agriculture, plantation, and homeless communities continue to suffer severe hardships. Your support can help restore their hope, enable them to build successful lives, and contribute to a prosperous future for our nation. With trust and affection, I fold my hands and sincerely request your generous support within my lifetime.
This support is not limited to financial contributions alone. Assistance and collaboration in strengthening early-childhood education through to Advanced Level (A/L) studies, focusing on equity, quality, and practical learning that match our country’s needs, are also deeply valued.
For those willing to make financial contributions, kindly deposit your support into the government-designated bank accounts.

Disasters destroy development, and sometimes inappropriate development creates disasters. Yet, disaster-affected situations also open the door to new thinking and the rebuilding of stable foundations by leaders, policymakers, and communities. In this spirit, we can now ensure equity, quality, and practical education for the children of our nation, and each of us can contribute to this mission.
After my lifetime, expressions of grief, tributes, or sharing memories of my work may be emotionally meaningful, but I will not be here to witness them. They serve mainly to comfort loved ones after loss. While I deeply appreciate such gestures, what I am asking now, while I live, is very emotional to me:
Please help vulnerable children receive equity, high-quality, and practical education.
Support them to become successful individuals and responsible citizens who will contribute with gratitude to the advancement of society and our nation.
With heartfelt respect and humility,
Sangarapillai Ravi
