NGO photo shoot or what. Too good to be true.

There should be a limit even to cynicism.

What a heart warming picture, may the Gods above help this kind hearted girl and this disabled man.

Humanity still prevails in Sri Lanka!

Single guys, there is a gem of a heart out there to be wooed.

Sisl Tuesday, 14 May 2024 07:30 AM

God bless her

Gem of a girl.

Real human being among lot of human faced animals.

May they both be blessed. It's not an example of hospitality to promote tourism but certainly one of compassion. It is also very telling of the lack of infrastructure and facilities for seniors and people with disabilities of Sri.Lanka which is never addressed in development plans.

Steve Tuesday, 14 May 2024 08:20 AM

God Bless this girl.

Shakeel Tuesday, 14 May 2024 08:34 AM

Glad you highlight these. Show more of these good sight of humanitarian.

Christo255 Tuesday, 14 May 2024 08:56 AM

She actually must be identified and recognised. From the heart

jo Tuesday, 14 May 2024 09:26 AM

Appreciate you Duwe. May God bless you.

Tariq Tuesday, 14 May 2024 09:38 AM

Definitely she has some good manners amongst the rest of the Sri Lankans.

SCRanjithA Tuesday, 14 May 2024 09:55 AM

A silent prayer for her to continue such a good deed so that others too will have that humane feeling for less unfortunates.

Ravana Tuesday, 14 May 2024 10:33 AM

True human being.

Charlie Hebdo Tuesday, 14 May 2024 10:45 AM

This is a normal thing to do. In Europe no one will let elderly people stand in long queues (and even llet them die)like you did some years ago.

Adnan Hameed, Pakistan Wednesday, 15 May 2024 01:47 AM

I'm Adnan Hameed, a good friend Sri Lanka, this pictorial story is shared by H.E The High Commissioner of Sri Lanka in Pakistan. "Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion at the Colombo Fort Railways Station. Your act of shielding the disabled elder from the heavy rain truly reflects the warmth and hospitality of Sri Lankan culture. Her gesture has touched my heart deeply, and I am grateful for her selflessness. This young Sri Lankan girl actions remind us all of the importance of kindness and empathy towards others. Thank you for being a shining example of goodness in the world."

Unfortunately, what most people do doesn't have proof or cameramen on site.
