My life motto is to make a change in lives of people and not only people and among animals and who are in need started since my childhood. I wanted to be a humanist who encompasses wide ranging areas in helping people and reliving them from suffering while fulfilling their various basic needs and wants. I wanted to be a social worker who invariably seeks justice from the world with a view to improving living standards of communities in numerous ways therefore I joined few  non profitable organization such as Rotary,Rotaract,Interact and Child Action Lanka to do projects and to be a volunteer. I too encourage the youth to get involved in humanitarian work and I believe youth make a real changes and meaningful changes and youth could lead and make this world a better place therefore I do motivational programs and awareness session.

It’s indeed a great immense pleasure for me to receive “SOCIAL IMPACT AWARD” on a global level and also to receive the “WOMEN INSPIRATION AWARD” also I am so thrilled to hear that I reached my goal and I always believed that I could make it and make my dream comes true. I always wanted be a change maker in the community and help the needy in a possible way. Receiving an award is a great and memorable experience. Most of the time we see celebrities and other business entrepreneurs receiving grants and awards on the big stage. Also, the organization where we employed recognizes us for our hard work.

A prestigious award such as would be remarkable for women would encourage to move forward and would create a better future where they could make wonders. This accomplishment is a significant milestone in my life. I extend my gratitude for allowing me to receive this award. I believe this award would make a huge difference in my life.
