Community Service - Maliyadda Junior School, Makehelwala, Mawanella.
Initiated by Rtr. Piyumika, we visited Maliyadda Junior School in Mawanella, to handover a few necessities and donate funds to build a fence. However, we also felt, that once seeing the school it could do with some basic renovation and fresh paint! So we are going on the 31st of March (this Saturday) with your paint brushes to add some colour to the school days of some very gorgeous children!
Please join us!

Community Service - Birthday Bash and Christmas Party
(click for larger view)
This project was initiated by our Parent Club the Rotary Club of Colombo, in conjunction with all the Rotaract and Interact Clubs within its purview. Each month, on one Sunday, we throw a party in honour of the children who are celebrating their birthday that month. This month was extra special as it was Christmas too! Over 90 kids received presents from Santa, enjoyed a Merry-go-round, thier faces being painted, Pin the beard on the Santa games and lots of love and cuddles! We were proud to be apart of this initiative and hope to continue the same next year!
Community Service - Kalpitiya Visit
Rtr. Manesha, Husna, Harsha and Imran visited Kalpitiya to assess the progress of the on-going English Language Teaching Project. This was funded by last year's "Arabian Night" Theme Party. Working in conjunction with the Humanitarian Brotherhood Foundation, we helped the first ever batch of students to sit English O'levels (Sri Lankan O'levels) in that region.
Community Service- "Aids Walk" Stop Aids Keep the Promise
The Rotaract Clubs of Battaramulla, Colombo Millennium City and the Rotaract Club of Colombo, organised a joint walk in an attempt to create Aids Awareness. Unfortunately the walk which had been originally scheduled for the 2nd of December got postponed to the 16th of December which reduced the number of participants originally expected. Well done to all 3 clubs who despite difficulties went ahead with the walk!
Thank you to President Randhika and all those who lent a helping hand!
