Sasiri Hetak - Phase 04
Leo Club of University of Colombo proudly completed the fourth phase of their ongoing "Sasiri Hetak" school renovation project at Handurumulla Gnanadassi Junior College on December 20, 2024. This impactful initiative aimed to create a more comfortable and inspiring environment for both students and teachers, fostering an atmosphere conducive to effective learning and teaching.As part of this phase, the club successfully refurbished six classrooms, breathing new life into the school's infrastructure. The renovations included repainting desks and chairs to restore their vibrancy and functionality and equipping each classroom with a brand-new notice board. These notice boards were specifically chosen to encourage interactive learning, provide space for important announcements, and showcase student achievements, adding an extra layer of engagement to the educational experience.
The team commenced their hands-on work on December 19, traveling to Mirigama to begin repairs and painting. From the moment they set foot in the village, they were captivated by its serene beauty and warm community spirit. With unwavering dedication, the members spent the day restoring the classrooms and meticulously painting the furniture, transforming the learning spaces into vibrant and inviting environments. That evening, they were graciously hosted by a fellow club member, whose home near the school provided a cozy and welcoming retreat. This time together allowed the team to bond over shared experiences, relishing the tranquility of the village and creating memories that would last a lifetime.
The culmination of their efforts was celebrated on December 20 with a heartfelt ceremony to officially hand over the refurbished classrooms to the school. The event was attended by school staff, students, and community members, who expressed their gratitude for the team's hard work and commitment. The new notice boards were unveiled as a symbol of the project's vision: to make learning more accessible and enjoyable for students while supporting their academic growth.
As the ceremony concluded, the team reflected on their journey with immense pride and satisfaction. Beyond the tangible outcomes of the project, such as the transformed classrooms, the initiative underscored the values of teamwork, perseverance, and service to the community. The profound sense of fulfillment they experienced stemmed from knowing their collective efforts had made a meaningful impact on the lives of children, empowering them to pursue their education in a nurturing environment.The "Sasiri Hetak" project stands as a testament to Leo Club's unwavering commitment to driving positive change and supporting the education of future generations. By prioritizing service and collaboration, they continue to inspire others to join hands in creating a brighter tomorrow.
