Project Sathkara


The objective of this project is to enhance the quality of education and encourage reading habits among students by donating books to the libraries of Sri Sumangala College, Iriyawetiya and Bandaranayake College, Hunupitiya. By addressing the need for improving literacy rates, promoting mental health, and fostering personal development in the targeted schools, this project aims to make a positive impact on the students and the community as a whole.

The implementation of the project “Sathkara” involved several steps. Club members collected books for the project through extensive sharing and networking, garnering support from various individuals who contributed to the book donations. They worked tirelessly to sort, pack, and transport the collected books to the selected schools. Sri Sumangala College, Iriyawetiya and Bandaranayake College, Hunupitiya were chosen based on their need for additional library resources and the potential impact on students' education. The books were then donated to the school libraries, ensuring easy access for all students and maximizing the number of beneficiaries.


To further enhance the effectiveness of the project, club members collaborated with the schools' administration and teachers to identify the most relevant and useful books for the students. This collaboration helped to tailor the book collection to the specific needs and interests of the students in each school, making the donation more targeted and impactful.

Another aspect of the project involved organizing workshops and interactive sessions for the students. These sessions focused on the importance of reading, cultivating reading habits, and sharing strategies for effective reading and comprehension. This approach helped to motivate and engage the students, making them more inclined to take advantage of the donated books.

The success of this project is reflected in the enhanced educational experience it provides for the students. The donated books will allow students to explore various subjects, improve their grades, and succeed in future exams. By offering an extensive collection of books, students will be inspired to develop consistent reading habits and rediscover the joy of reading. Reading also provides relaxation and escapism, contributing to students' mental well-being and stress reduction. Additionally, the project will help students develop crucial cognitive, social, and emotional skills, contributing to their overall personal growth and enabling them to become well-rounded individuals in society.

Through the diligent efforts of club members and the support of the community, this project successfully addressed the identified needs in the targeted schools. The book donation initiative has the potential to make a lasting impact on the students and the community, fostering a positive reading culture and enhancing the quality of education. The project's success also highlights the importance of collaboration and community involvement in addressing educational needs and promoting a brighter future for the students.
