Sometimes you hear about wonderful people, Irie Perera is one of those people. I first heard about her through my friend, she is an avid fundraiser for several charities.
When the dark clouds of the pandemic came she found the strength to be creative and wrote several poems inspired by our dire situation. She plans to make an anthology of poems to raise money for her charities.
On of the charities is the UK registered Sri Lanken charity called Hela Sarana, another is The Scar Free Foundation which is a British research charity, their aim is to achieve scar free healing for burns and war wounds etc.
She has read her poems out on BBC Essex and one was made into a short video which you can see above. She was inspired by her son, a junior doctor and all the staff on the frontline throughout the pandemic.
