Michelle Dilhara is a well-known television actress in Sri Lanka. But even before she became famous, she was an activist for social rights and the environment. Now she uses both her influence and her income to mobilize others to join the fight for social justice and environmental protection. In 2020 she was named the Earth Day Ambassador for Sri Lanka. “We have a responsibility for the future of the children,” she says. “What I always tell everybody is that one small contribution from each of us can make a huge change.”
