Daughter seeking help to her handicap father
My father is Delath Keerthi silva, 57 years old married person from Sri Lanka with three daughters. I am his eldest daughter24 years old undergraduate at BCI campus Negombo, my elder sister will sit for the GCE/advance level examination in August and youngest one is at grade ten. My father was a plastic injection molding machine technician. On the 9th of December 2024 he had a terrible mess up on the way to work. Suddenly he began to feel a some kind of uncomfortableness to his body. So immediately he got down from his push bicycle and sit on the ground and call the ambulance and they rush to the hospital. After a CT scanning doctor told what my father has a bleeding in the brain. After one week came back home as a paralyzed person. We spend all the savings we had for my father’s medical treatments. These days we are totally defend on support of our relations. Father says he can not continue this hard ship further like this way. So he has decided to start a home base two self- employments. Number one is on line food for breakfast and dinner with delivery with the help of all the family members. Other one is laser cut and engraved souvenirs and key tags for tourist which can do alone. Father says with this two business he hope can earn 20 USD per day which is enough to manage daily needs essential expenses. To full fill his hopes we need to buy a food proccing machine and a scooter and a laser cutting and engraving machine. I hope kind hearted generous people will give us a hand to get up from terrible situation and continue our lives happily and peacefully. Thanking you in anticipation. DPN Silva, Handicap DK Silva’s eldest daughter. 16th of February 16, 2026

Dear Supporters and Partners, My name is Shanaka Maliyadda, and I have served Sri Lanka as a journalist for 31 years. Throughout my career, I have stood beside communities, reported their struggles, highlighted their resilience, and advocated for sustainable national development. Today, I am stepping beyond reporting change — to creating it. I am launching Sri Lanka’s first-ever Hydroponic Rice Farming Project, an innovative and sustainable agricultural initiative designed to empower rural communities while addressing future food security challenges. Rice is the heart of Sri Lankan life. Yet traditional paddy cultivation faces increasing difficulties — water scarcity, climate change, rising input costs, soil degradation, and unpredictable weather patterns. Hydroponic rice farming offers a revolutionary alternative: • Uses up to 80–90% less water • Reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers • Produces higher yields in controlled environments • Minimizes climate-related risks • Enables year-round cultivation • Provides sustainable income opportunities for farmers This pilot project will establish a modern hydroponic rice cultivation system that can later be replicated across the country. My vision is not simply to build a farm — but to create a model for community-based sustainable agriculture. The project will: 1. Establish demonstration hydroponic rice cultivation units 2. Train local farmers and youth in hydroponic techniques 3. Create employment opportunities within the community 4. Develop a replicable model for national expansion 5. Promote environmentally responsible farming practices Your contribution will directly support: • Construction of hydroponic growing systems • Water circulation and nutrient management systems • Greenhouse or protective structures • Seedling development and research • Farmer training workshops • Initial operational costs As a journalist, I have witnessed firsthand how rural communities struggle due to unpredictable harvests and limited opportunities. This project is my commitment to building a resilient agricultural future — one that empowers farmers, strengthens food security, and inspires innovation in Sri Lanka. Transparency and accountability will be core principles of this initiative. Regular progress updates, financial reporting, and community impact documentation will be shared with all supporters. This is more than a farming project. It is a national milestone. It is a step toward sustainable agriculture. It is a movement to empower communities. I warmly invite you to become a founding supporter of Sri Lanka’s first hydroponic rice farming initiative. Together, we can cultivate innovation, sustainability, and hope. Thank you for believing in a greener and stronger future. With gratitude, Shanaka Maliyadda Journalist | Social Advocate | Sustainable Agriculture Initiator Sri Lanka
