I had the privilege to study with Theive, at Johns for a few years. He was a quiet and unassuming student, who was well liked by all. What started as a small effort by him and a few friends, the camping activities of engineering batchmates, grew into a mega charity run by many local chapters in Australia and overseas. Needless the say Theive was the main person motivating his friends and peers to help the disadvantaged people in Sri Lanka, affected by conflict. His unwavering commitment has also inspired friends outside the Engineering community, and our children who are now in the work force to commit and contribute to the charitable activities of ECF. I cannot find words to console his family and close friends, who will miss him badly. However, his legacy will continue and the punniyam he has amassed will protect his family and descendants for many, many years to come. RIP Theive.
