Dilanee Bunter from Ocean Stars Trust was invited to the Sri Lanka High Commission in London on 26.1.15 to join in an event to mark the passing of 10 years since the Tsunami that hit Sri Lanka on Boxing Day 2004.
Ocean Stars was also invited to submit photographs to show the work done by the charity since it was set up in March 2005.
The event was attended by several dignitaries from UK charities. The event began with the traditional lighting of the Sri Lanka lamp by VIP guests. Then there were religious speakers from the four faiths of Sri Lanka Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim and Christian. This was followed by moving speeches from people who had survived the tsunami in Sri Lanka. At the end there was a film showing the after math of the tsunami and all the work that has gone on post tsunami to 2015.
During the evening Dilanee met Cherie Blair and Rob Forkan from Gandi flip flops.
It was certainly an honour for Ocean Stars Trust to be invited to such a prestigious event.
