Raja Yatawara

Raja was an inspiration to all those around him. A chartered Civil Engineer by profession, Raja completed his Masters degree in Public Health Engineering at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne in the UK. Accompanied by his wife and two children, Raja lived and worked in Sri Lanka, UK, Uganda, Malawi, and Tanzania. His untimely death while an expatriate in Tanzania was a shock to everyone. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word, a loving husband, a father, a trailblazer and mentor to his siblings. Through his aspirations towards holding prominent positions in United Nations and the WHO, the world lost a genuine figure of change for a better future far too early. He is deeply missed by everyone who knew him.
