This is a well-intentioned article, but the notability seems to derive from founding a small non-profit (which many, many others have done) and honors received. I wasn't able to to find any verification of the honors on Google. Perhaps someone more familiar with Sri Lanka could find better references, but I came up empty-handed. One would think that someone who is "one of the most socially committed philantrophists to his country" (sic) would be easy to find. If this man is truly notable in Sri Lanka, my apologies; but if so, surely some 3rd-party references can be provided ? Outside the PINA website ? Plvekamp (talk) 23:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
