@ZainulMahas Been there and I guess most of us go through this phase. It makes us more resilient and able to face difficulties with a clearer approach I guess. Reach out if in need, always happy to help.

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragic fire at the Batagoda elders' home.

As fire safety professionals, moments like these remind us why prevention matters.

If you need guidance on improving fire safety preparedness, our team is available to help.

@ZainulMahas @vishkidx I was equally pissed when I heard. Been juggling work + petrol and diesel quotas against consumption of our fleet of vehicles to collect enough fuel for outstation runs all this time.

What a bloody song and dance to do business in Sri Lanka. Will go mad at the end of all this.

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

@shehal Gave our guys a day off. Don't know about the rest.

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

Back to the future!

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

Just taking a sec to say thank you to our friends, donors and supporters for the opportunity to help those in need and may the blessings we receive watch over our families, especially our children.

May we be guided to calmer waters, as we overcome the obstacles of daily life.

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

@RegularReh The balance we accumulated was invested in money markets etc to earn interest towards our end goal of setting up a care home. Most of it is now getting taxed and our personal salary contributions were taxed on income once and now again via the charity.

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

Right so this is where we are. Getting taxed for helping people. Ultimate goal was to save up for a child care home someday but guess that goes out the window with all this rubbish.

Tax can live with. but up to 30% for a non profit org is just crazy.

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

@RegularReh yeah clear on that but our issue is that we were utilizing donations 100% for end receiver while operational/admin costs were paid for by us through personal funds + we were always making regular cash deposits from our personal salaries to grow the charity account.

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

Pls excuse. Had to jump on the Wimal wagon 😋

@shehal @oshi_2004 @iamkapilan shared while I was at work. didn't really check. was disappointed to see the garbage which is typical SL behavior at any gathering. Deleted the post since it's Ai.

[Jessica Why Is Your Name Ferrari 🏎️ @jessiefer]

After 13 years of not really claiming the name on social media, I'm finally bringing Scarlet Cat (my brand) out from being just a behind the scenes PR consultancy. Would very much appreciate a share

What an incredible journey — from battling severe bed sores to now standing strong and working to support his family.

Sudarshan, confined to a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury, needs YOUR help! He requires 2 urgent surgeries for bedsores before his crucial spinal cord operation. Every donation counts towards his Rs. 1,200,000 goal. Let's make mobility possible again.

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

Sudarshan has received the wheel chair this morning. It's been charged at the moment, Excited to see it in use.

Thank you everyone for making the multiple miracles that helped him be self sufficient possible (Plastic Surgery, Spinal Cord Surgery, Wheel Chair) 🙏

#AffinityLK #lk

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

After a few delays due to the prevailing global conditions we were able to import and clear the electric standing wheelchair, it's currently being couriered to Sudarshans hometown in Badulla. Thank you for blessing him with renewed purpose, dignity, and independence.

@shehal @r_evarts I know. The job of the police is to act on complaints and produce to courts. All I'm saying is if you are going to FA, be ready to FO what inconveniences may come with it too.

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

@shehal @r_evarts Exactly, Everything about the law is FAFO. If the circumstances are right you can get away with murder.

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

@shehal @r_evarts In short it falls under "Cultural Preservation:  Portraying traditional Avurudu rituals in a way that is sexually suggestive or mocks the heritage can lead to a ban or censorship."

Public performance ordinance covers a broad area. one must read it in full to understand it.

[Michael David @Mike_Affinity]

@shehal @r_evarts No. The public performance ordinance is law and it covers a broad spectrum of things. in this instance it can be used to against content deemed vulgar, indecent, or harmful to public morality.

The prob with so called 'event managers' they don't know the laws and regulation's.
