Today would have been Merrill J. Fernando’s 95th birthday, which his family marks as a Kindness Day. His son Dilhan writes, ‘2,050 less fortunate families around the nation receive packs of dry rations sufficient to feed a typical family for two weeks, with orphan children, elders and others at Mother Theresa homes in Moratuwa and Mattakkuliya, and the Mental Health Rehabilitation Centre Mavadivembu presented lunch, entertainment and a day of kindness by #Dilmah and MJF Foundation teams.’
