 Theertha- 3rd Phase of Project Kruthaguna 5.0

Through ‘’Theertha’’ the 3rd phase of project Kruthaguna 5.0, we needed to uplift the moral, emotional wellbeing of the elders residing in St. Joseph’s Elders Home. Elders should be given the opportunity to express their inner feelings; happiness, feeling of loneliness, love with the crowd around them.

Rev. Sister Superior Sajeewani provided us the information and through her guidance we were able to identify the major needs of the elders residing in this place. On 22nd April 2023, our team went there with full of hopes and we were able to donate essential dry rations, few essential medicine and other materials which were needed for this place. After the Covid pandemic they had been unable to interact with the outsiders. They were so pleased when we arrived. Rev. sisters look after them with loving kindliness.

Since they’ve been deprived to live with their families, we needed to make them feel they are valuable, important age group in the society. We needed to make them engaged in the fun activities with dancing and singing with each other. Our main aim was to make them purposeful that their lives never end with death and to feel them they are much wanted to us. We believe through all our efforts we were able to make an impact in their lives.

It was really an unforgettable day for all of us. They all thanked us with tearful eyes. Even it was difficult to leave them. Remarking the end of project Kruthaguna 5.0, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all who helped us in making all these events successful; Leo Haritha Vimukthi, the Club President, Leo Himesh Tand Leo Vidura Kaluarachchi, Club Vice Presidents, Leo Methma Athauda, Club Secretary, Leo Udeshika Ganegoda and Leo Ayeshika Nawanjani, Assistant Club Secretaries, Leo Thilina Bandara, Club Treasurer, Leo Shehan De Mel, Leo Vajira Galigamuwa, Leo Hiruni Jayawickrama and Leo Chathu Kasthuriarachchige the present and former Editorial Panel Heads, Leo Chamendri Nimasha, Leo Ashini De Silva, Leo Eranda Kalhara and all Leos and non-Leos who helped us continuously.

          Diyani 8.0 - Her Well (First Phase ) ~Access to basic sanitation should be a basic right, not a privilege~ Sanitation and hygiene practices are crucial for maintaining health and well-being, yet many people, particularly women, face significant barriers in accessing proper education and resources. Menstruation remains a taboo in many cultures, viewed as shameful or impure due to cultural and religious norms. This stigma prevents open discussions and limits access to information and resources. As the world observes International Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024 with the theme "Period Friendly World," the question remains: Are we ready to talk openly about periods?

Held at Ihala Madampalla Ranasinghe M.V., the project aimed to raise awareness about sanitation and menstrual hygiene among students, targeting both boys and girls to br
