Puthukudiyiruppu Hospital Male Ward Building Project

We hope you remember Dr Philomena Karthikesalingam, who did a charity walk last year to raise funds on behalf of Assist RR. The funds raised by her part funded building a paediatric ward at Puthukudiyiruppu (PTK) hospital that was destroyed towards the end of the war. Assist RR is currently building another ward at PTK hospital for male patients with contributions from Children’s Hunger Relief Fund, UK, and Aavarthana, UK. As there is a shortfall in funds needed to complete the work, Assist RR recently made an appeal for support. Dr Philomena Karthikesalingam and Dr Jayanthy Gnananandan came forward and are embarking on a charity walk on 29 August 2015. They are walking from London to Cambridge on an epic endurance challenge. They will be walking non-stop for 24 hours across the open countryside. The money raised will aid building a male at PTK Hospital. With the completion of this male ward, PTK hospital will have nearly 70 beds for male, female and paediatric patients. This was made possible only by the generosity of many Diaspora Tamils. We would like to kindly request you to visit the following link and donate generously and support the efforts of Doctors Phil & Jayanthy. They are doing the hard walk: can we share their pain by contributing to their good cause?
