Sasiri Hetak - Phase 06

                Sasiri Hetak (Phase 06) 

The root of education is bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

The Leo Club of the University of Colombo successfully completed the sixth phase of the ongoing “Sasiri Hetak” school renovation project at Ballapitiya Primary College on February 24, 2025. This meaningful initiative aimed to enhance the learning environment for both students and teachers, creating a more comfortable and inspiring space that fosters effective education. As part of this phase, the club undertook the refurbishment of a classroom, revitalizing the school’s infrastructure. The renovations included repainting the classroom, beautifying the interiors, and constructing a flower bed in front of the classroom to plant flower plants.


The team embarked on the renovation work on February 23, traveling to Horana to begin repairs and painting. With dedication and teamwork, they spent the day restoring and refreshing the classroom, transforming it into a vibrant and welcoming space for students. That evening, a fellow club member graciously hosted the team at their home near the school, providing a warm and hospitable retreat after a day of hard work.

The project culminated on February 24 with a heartfelt ceremony to officially hand over the renovated classroom to the school. The event was attended by school staff, students, parents, and community members, all of whom expressed their gratitude for the team’s dedication and efforts. The students showcased their talents with beautiful dance performances, adding a joyous touch to the celebration. The occasion was made even more special as the team took a moment to celebrate the birthday of the project’s president.


As the ceremony concluded, so end of the project came to closer. Reflecting on the six-month journey, the team felt a deep sense of pride and satisfaction. Beyond the physical improvements to the school, the project reinforced the values of teamwork, perseverance, and community service. The greatest reward came from knowing their efforts had positively impacted the lives of young students, providing them with a more nurturing environment to pursue their education.


The "Sasiri Hetak" project stands as a testament to the Leo Club’s unwavering commitment to driving meaningful change and supporting education. Through service and collaboration, the club continues to inspire others to join hands in building a brighter future for the next generation.
