Members of the Sri Lanka Janahanda Foundation were invited by Feltham and Heston MP Hon. Allan Keen (Labour) for a special function held at Collections Knightsbridge, London recently. This high profile event was hosted by Hon. Allan Keen MP and his wife Anne Keen MP (Labour) for their well wishers and supporters. It was graced by Mrs Sarah Brown, wife of British Prime Minister, and British Foreign Secretary David Milliband. 

Sri Lanka Janahanda Foundation was formed in Hounslow, Middlesex where a large Sri Lankan community is based. During the last five years it has organised many community‑based social, cultural and charity events and those activities were well appreciated by local politicians including the Hon. Allan Keen MP.  Janahanda foundation also works for the community, regardless of their ethnicity or religion and develops unity and harmony among them. This is one of the main reasons why many local politicians have offered a helping hand towards Janahanda Foundation to achieve its community building goals. 

Foreign Secretary David Milliband and Hon. Allan Keen MP discussed several matters related to Sri Lanka during their brief meeting and promised to liaise with Janahanda Foundation in the future. 

Many politicians, councilors, businessmen, government officials and a large number of distinguished guests were present at the occasion. Also present were Janahanda foundation President Sri Lal Dias and committee members Shiran and Manoja Almeda, Gamini Ranatunge, Asoka Silva, Ranjan Jayasekara, Sudesh Fonseka, Chanaka Dissanayake and Dusmantha Wijekoon
