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&#8217;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.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\">Dr Philomena Karthikesalingam and Dr Jayanthy Gnananandan came forward and are embarking on a charity walk on 29 August 2015. They\u00a0are 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\u00a0generosity\u00a0of many Diaspora Tamils.
