After supporting flood-affected families through urgent aid, USLA is now taking the next step: helping deliver vital medical equipment from Wellington to Sri Lanka. 🏥🚢

The equipment is ready — now we need your support to get it there.

Every contribution helps carry hope, care, and healing back home. 🙏🇱🇰

සාමයේ සංහිඳියාව 🕊️
“Peace is the presence of love” 🇱🇰❤️

Last month, USLA held its commemorative Elle event, bringing our community together in remembrance, unity, and Sri Lankan tradition. 🏏🕯️

Through a candle-lighting tribute and friendly Elle matches, we honoured those who sacrificed their lives for peace while celebrating community spirit here in Aotearoa. 🙏🌏

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined, supported, played, volunteered, and helped make the day meaningful. 🤝✨

We look forward to continuing this initiative in the years ahead. 🇱🇰❤️

පිරිසිදු රටක් පැතුවද
කැත කුණු නේක
වැඩ නැත කතා මිස තැන තැන හැම දාක
උස්තැන් ගඳ ගසයි පතුරා විස නේක
මේ වැනි රටක් පැතුවේ නැත කිසිදාක

හොරු අල්ලන්න නීතිය හොඳටම ඇතිවෙයි
සංවර්ධනය පුනරුදයක නව ජවයයි
කල්මැරුවොතින් අත පත් බලයද ගිලිහෙයි
කට මැත පසෙක ලා වැඩ කළහොත් ජයවෙයි

වරදක් කළොත් හෙම ඌ ඈ මොකා වුව
දඬුවම සමව දිය යුතුවෙයි පමා නොව
දෙවඟන දෙඇස බැඳි හේතුව සොයා යව
හැත්තෑ වස සාපෙ මැතුරුම පලක් නොව

දුරලනු වස් රටක් බිලිගත් දිළිඳු වදේ
කළ හැකි දහක් දේ ඇති බැව් සිතනු හොඳේ
නව නිපැයුමක් නැති දැයකින් පලක් නොදේ
නැව ඉදිරියට පැද්දොත් නැංගුරම් බිඳේ

නවසීලන්තෙ නොව ලොව කොයි කොදෙව්වක
සිටියත් නිදන්නේ සිහිනෙන් ලණු ඇඳක
දළදා සමන්ගිර බැබලෙන පුදබිමක
ඒ රට නැගුම ලක්වැසි අපෙ යුතුකමක!

*********************************************

As we remember those who sacrificed their lives for the peace, territorial integrity, and sovereignty of our country this week, we also come together as one community through the spirit of friendship, unity, and our tradition of Elle. ⚾️

This year’s commemorative Elle Match is more than just a game, it is a gathering of memories, respect, laughter, and togetherness.

Alongside the event, we are honoured to share a heartfelt poem written by E.M.D Upali, reflecting on the journey, sacrifices, and hopes of our motherland.🇱🇰

Bring your family and friends and come enjoy a great day of community spirit, remembrance, and friendly competition. ❤️💛
