Introducing "Project Home Owl" - A charity


"Project Home Owl" is a charity project aligned with the publication of “Lost in Floral Rain”.

All revenue raised from the sale of this novel and all donations received will be used to fund two literacy initiatives under "Project Home Owl". These initiatives will be implemented with the support of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka and a few selected government primary schools in Sri Lanka.

The two initiatives are as follows.

1. Medical student book grants:
A limited number of book grants will be provided to first year students of Faculty of Medicine, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka to purchase prescribed text books. Students with financial hardship will be selected for these grants. This project will be managed through close collaboration with PeMSAA (Peradeniya Medical School Alumni Association) and the Faculty of Medicine, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka.

2. English home readers for primary school children:
A weekly easy reader English book will be provided to all year three students of a few schools as reading material through this program with the aim of cultivating an lifelong habit of reading English books. This project will be managed through close collaboration with school principals and teachers of selected primary schools in Sri Lanka.

Your support will be most appreciated to make this project a success.
