Back to School

The project was conceptualized in Early October 2008 and officially inaugurated on the 1st January 2009. The project funded scholarships for 45 kids from five different villages in the Tsunami effected Kalutara District to continue their schooling. The funds were raised by a special tea auction organized by the Ceylon Tea Traders Association (CTTA) in October 2008.

The project came to an end on the 31 December 2009 and to mark this one of the villages organized a prize giving programme on the 31 December 2009 in Moratuwa from 10.30 a.m to 12 noon. All kids who were supported by the project were given stationery for the next academic year with the intention of motivating them to continue their studies.

RCC intends to make an appeal to CTTA and other agencies and companies to continue to fund this project in the coming year as well. Three members from the club participated at the prize giving.
