A Tribute to the Pioneer Who Established Medical Faculty Sports Society
In July 2018, we submitted a request to the Dean to establish a Sports Society for the Faculty of Medicine. At that time, Professor Vajira Weerasinghe was serving as the Dean of the Faculty.
Upon receiving our request, Professor Weerasinghe took the initiative to establish the Sports Society. He subsequently forwarded the constitution of the Association to the Faculty Board, thereby ensuring its formal recognition as an officially constituted association.
Today, the Society has approximately 100 members drawn from both the academic and non-academic staff of the faculty. Its activities include mountain climbing, an annual cricket tournament, maintaining a small gymnasium within the faculty, and conducting aerobic exercise sessions every weekday at 12 noon.
The Society has continued to grow and develop through the unwavering support and encouragement of Professor Kapila Gunawardena, Prof. Asiri Abeyagunawardena, Prof. Vasanthi Pinto, and the current Dean, Prof. Saman Nanayakkara of the Faculty.
Dear Sir, As the pioneer who took the initiative to establish our Sports Society, we cordially invite you to accept this memento as a token of our sincere appreciation and gratitude for your invaluable contribution.
