Renovating Pre-school and playground





Our Lions organized a Pre-school renovation project in Dehiwela coastal area. This is a tsumai affected area which is mainly accommodated by the fishing community. This is the only Pre-school in that vicinity which cater the children’s foundation education with the minimum facilities. Based on the request made by the community and the need for the children’s basic education, our Lions agreed to renovate the Pre-school. The renovation project was conducted on 19th November 2006 at “Sipsevana” Pre-School, No: 40, Aponso Avenue, Dehiwela. 23 Lions from Lions Club of Colombo Millennium Leo, 3 volunteers (One International volunteer-Engineer, Painter and Teacher), Lion Deepthi Weerasooriya from Lions Club of Bakkamoona were participated in this event. This event was started at 08.00 am and ended around 05.00 pm with refreshments. The cost for the painting materials, refreshments, transport charges, metal/iron materials for gate, chairs & cousins and all other expenses were shared by the Lion members. Lion Antonia Fernhout initiated and led the project with the assistance given by Lion Manohari.
