Book Launch: My Ocean Stars Odyssey
"I carried a dream: to give back to Sri Lanka. This book is that journey, and the lives that shaped it. Boxing Day 2004 was my own tsunami. From tragedy, Ocean Stars Trust was born. Though I left Sri Lanka in 1976, my heart never did. This book is about reconnecting with my roots." Dilanee Bunter
