Philanthropist Yoko Matsubayashi engages in welfare work in countries like Sri Lanka, China, Korea, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran, India, etc., and grants scholarships to schoolchildren.
She came to Sri Lanka for the thirteenth time to open the office and multipurpose building of the Nelumvila Elders’ Home, which is being built in the Dorowwa, Kotadeniyawa, Mirigama, with her assistance, providing residential facilities to 20 elders.
This event will be carried out with the participation of Japan’s Chief Sanghanayaka Ven Banagala Upatissa Thera, and a meditation centre, an Ayurvedic treatment centre, a library and a computer centre for the children of the area will be started soon.
Matsubayashi has been engaged in welfare activities on behalf of needy people of this country throughout her life and provides various social services in Sri Lanka and grants scholarships to a group of 15 children every year. She provides knowledge by building a computer centre for the novice monks and students of the Gampaha Sama Maha Vihara.
Matsubayashi also provides schoolchildren and local residents the opportunity to develop knowledge of Japanese culture by installing the Japanese cultural centre.
She also provides the opportunity for a large number of people to develop knowledge through the Nelumvila library which she established.
Remembering the speech delivered by former President J.R. Jayewardene at the San Francisco Peace Conference, which was a relief to Japan, which was defeated in the Second World War, the Japanese people are ready to help Sri Lanka in every possible way and the people of Sri Lanka respect the noble mission engaged in by Yoko Matsubayashi for the people of this country and the people of Sri Lanka salute her.
