Sahurda Viyamana – Phase V

By -

As we embarked on the 5th phase of our Sahurda Viyamana Continuous Project on March 22nd at the Jayaviru Samadhi Rehabilitation Center, we were filled with anticipation and a sense of purpose. Before commencing our activities, we made sure to seek permission from the head of the center, ensuring that our endeavors were in line with their protocols and objectives. With their gracious approval obtained, we set the stage for a meaningful and impactful event.

 One of the highlights of the day was the presence of Mr. Indika Wickramasooriya, a distinguished lawyer, who generously lent his expertise as a resource person. Mr. Wickramasooriya engaged with the inmates, offering profound insights into the meaning behind the songs performed during the session. However, in consideration of privacy concerns raised by the officers, we respected their decision not to permit photography of the inmates. Upholding the dignity and confidentiality of the participation of the individuals was our utmost priority.

To foster a warm and welcoming atmosphere, we treated them with a piece of a cake and papaya juice as refreshments for the inmates. This small gesture aimed to add a touch of comfort and hospitality to the event, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy the experience. Furthermore, our Leos took center stage, lending their voices to sing songs that resonated throughout the rehabilitation center. Led by Leo Chamara Ranasinghe, who moderated the session with grace and enthusiasm, the musical performances brought joy and camaraderie to all present.

As the session drew to a close, the officers expressed their sincere gratitude to the Leo Club for their unwavering support and dedication. Their acknowledgment underscored the significant impact of the club's involvement in enriching the rehabilitation experience for the inmates. It was a moment of reflection on the power of collaboration and compassion in creating meaningful change. Through our collective efforts, we reaffirmed our commitment to making a positive impact and supporting the rehabilitation journey of those in need.

          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.
