My show and tell
is about a disabled Sri Lankan person. Now he is a doctor researching at
National University of Singapore. He is Dr. P Jayathilaka. I will call him
Jaya. Jaya had Polio when he was a child. Both his legs were paralyzed. His mum
who was a poor lady, thought education was the best thing she could give to her
crippled son. When he went to school his mum took him in a wheelbarrow.
Somebody donated a wheelchair for him after seeing their courage. Jaya was very
good at studies in class. He won many awards at school. He was selected to do
engineering in Moratuwa University
in Sri Lanka .
He got a Super
First Class in his final exam. Then he was selected to do Doctor of Philosophy
(PhD) in the National University of Singapore. After getting his PhD now he is
working as a researcher there.
Jaya was born in
Dandu Bendi Ruppa which was a remote village in Sri Lanka . He was born in 1975 and
now he is 37.
