Dear Sri Lankans,
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
We wish to inform you about a unique project initiated by Mr. Michael Sarnacki, an American photographer and a writer from Michigan, who has been in and out of Sri Lanka for the last 15 years.

Michael Sarnacki has been working in our country for almost fifteen years, annually documenting Kandy Esala Perahera.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  He has assembled his photographs and research text in a pre-published manuscript entitled, Sri Lanka and the Kandy Esala Perahera. The text of the book has been gone through by a panel of Sri Lankan experts chaired by the Vice Chancellor of Peradeniya University.

Now after many years, he wishes to publish this world-class book and assemble an exhibition of photographs that can travel the world.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  We now have the opportunity to help him to make this book and exhibition a reality.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
The Embassy invites potential sponsors to help with this endeavor. All required details are provided by Mr Sarnacki in his email below.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  I would suggest that individuals could make contributions to this project, as this is a great opportunity to expose Sri Lanka to the world, which can create greater awareness of our culture and add further interest with American and Canadian tourists to understand our beautiful island.
