Jasbina:

Thank you. Insightful on many different levels, so diverse. And I’m wondering if you’d like to share your charity’s, CHIRAJ’S, website with our listeners so they can take a look at some of the great initiatives you’ve been involved in.

 

Dr. Rajeev Fernando:

Absolutely. So it’s CHIRAJ. It really tells us, tells everyone about the different places we go. I advise listeners not to look for the donate button. It’s really a self-funded charity by myself. So please don’t look for a donate sign there. Just your support is important to me. Spread the word.

 

Jasbina:

Spread the word. Okay. Everyone can help by spreading the word.

 

Dr. Rajeev Fernando:

Yeah, spread the word.

 

Jasbina:

Okay, great.

 

Dr. Rajeev Fernando:

Listeners can email me or go to the website and drop the question or anything. And I’ll send out free masks for them or wherever they are as long as they don’t have any, or the community needs some, just drop us a line. And like I said, we’re actually just sending stuff to Russia also right now, actually. We’re all human beings and we shouldn’t be thinking about Cold Wars and this and that, and espionage. It’s really coming down to saving lives.

So it really doesn’t matter which part of Earth you’re in. We send masks. We’re probably going to do some, we’re in China as well. We’re starting to get some contacts there. So it doesn’t matter about these global superpower things and all that. Human beings are human beings. And wherever we can send our masks, it’s very helpful. So thank you all for your support.

 

Jasbina:

How inspiring. And thank you. Thank you, Rajeev. I really appreciate your sharing your valuable insights and generosity with us.
