In an effort to foster inclusivity and empowerment, Sahurda Yathra embarked on a mission to provide a helping hand to the differently-abled. With a strong focus on offering professional guidance, encouragement, and inspiration. On March 11th, 2025, at the Deaf School in Rathmalana, Sahurda Yathra will take another meaningful step forward. The project will provide meals to the students, ensuring they receive the nourishment needed to focus on their growth and learning. Beyond this, the initiative aims to inspire and equip them with practical skills through a motivational speech and a professional workshop on short eats preparation. These activities will not only instill valuable knowledge but also open doors to future career opportunities, fostering self-reliance among the students.
Understanding the importance of inspiration in shaping young minds, the project featured a motivational speech delivered by two esteemed guest speakers. They shared their personal experiences, emphasizing the power of determination, resilience, and self-belief. They spoke about overcoming challenges, pursuing dreams, and breaking barriers in society. Their stories resonated deeply with the students, igniting a sense of motivation and possibility. The students were reminded that their abilities, not disabilities, define their potential. Seeing individuals who have succeeded despite obstacles ignited a sense of motivation and possibility in the hearts of those present.
The heart of this project lies in empowerment through skill-building. Recognizing the importance of self-sufficiency, Sahurda Yathra organized Culinary Workshop on short eats preparation. This initiative introduced students to practical culinary techniques, enabling them to develop valuable skills that can open doors to self-employment and career opportunities in the food industry. Through hands-on training, participants learned the art of preparing a variety of short eats, gaining confidence in their abilities. More than just a cooking lesson, this workshop symbolized an opportunity for independence—a step towards a future where their talents can flourish. Sahurda Yathra is more than just an initiative; it is a commitment to inclusion, dignity, and empowerment. By offering both nourishment and skill development, we aim to create a sustainable impact that goes beyond a single event. The gratitude and enthusiasm of the students served as a powerful reminder that every effort counts in building a world where differently-abled individuals are given the opportunities they deserve.
As Sahurda Yathra continues, its mission remains clear—to uplift, educate, and empower. The journey does not end here. We are dedicated to expanding our reach, offering more training opportunities and providing continued support to ensure that every differently-abled individual has the chance to shape their own future. Through compassion, education, and collective effort, we can build a more inclusive and supportive world—one step at a time.
