Art & Play Program
​- Sambodhi Home for the Disabled
The Serendipity Trust supported the delivery of the 'Art & Play' Program at Sambodhi Home for the Disabled.

This program offered regular creative arts sessions  for approximately 40 residents with a diverse range of conditions such as cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, traumatic brain injury and autism.

This program aimed to provide a vital socialization, recreation and creative outlet for residents. This multidisciplinary arts integration method supported healing through the arts with music, visual arts and community arts integration mechanisms.
Together we can protect our oceans!
We are very proud for the small part we have played in sharing this short film with you. This film was created by Rose Aberywickrama and narrated in Sinhala by Lakdilu Jayawardana as part of the Serendipity Trust's Oceanic Conservation Mural Project at the Galle Prison. Please help us share this film far and wide across Sri Lanka!

Galle Children's Festival
The Galle Children's Festival offered children living in Sri Lanka with an exciting program of workshops, performances, competitions and other participation opportunities.

Founded in October 2011 and held regularly each year, the Festival brought international and local performers, authors, artists and dancers to the Southern Province of Sri Lanka to inspire children and young people and enable them to enjoy activities they would not normally have the opportunity to try.

Between 2011 and 2019, over 20 large-scale Galle Children's Festival events have been held throughout Sri Lanka. 

The Galle Children's Festival is committed to reaching out to rural inland areas of Sri Lanka ensuring our programs reach children from all backgrounds.

Oceanic Conservation Mural Project
Watch the transformation of the boundary wall of the Galle Prison in to a beautiful piece of public art.  The Oceanic Conservation Murals project raised awareness in Sri Lanka about plastic pollution in our oceans and the effect it is having on our health and environment. Painted by Rose Abeywickrama (aka the Painting Pirate), this prominent public wall is on the main road of the city of Galle, the gate way to the south of Sri Lanka. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this inspiring project!
