To the Saptaswara family
Aravanai, the Palliative Care Ward, opened on 14 July at Telipalai Hospital, Jaffna, Sri Lanka.
The funds we raised through Saptaswara 2025 went towards Paalam, The Bridge to Humanity's dream of building this ward. Vanni Hope Australia carried out the on ground implementation. Together, it's now a place offering care, love and dignity to patients and families in the last stages of life.
To our performers, volunteers, sponsors and every single guest who showed up that evening, thank you. A night of fashion, music and dance in Sydney is now a real ward, helping real people.
We are so glad we were able to contribute in whatever way possible. This is exactly why we do Navarasa, Saptaswara and now Kalpavriksha.
Thank you, Team Saptaswara. This one's yours as much as it is ours.
With love and gratitude,
Gayatri
