Art & Play Programme at Sambodhi Home for the Disabled
The Serendipity Trust is proud to announce the launch of our 'Art & Play' Programme at Sambodhi Home for the Disabled. This programme offers three creative arts sessions per week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) for approximately 40 residents who have a diverse range of conditions such as cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, traumatic brain injury and autism. This programme aims to provide a vital socialization, recreation and creative outlet for residents. This multidisciplinary arts integration method supports healing through the arts with music, visual arts and community arts integration mechanisms. 
Mosaic Festival
The Mosaic Festival offered children a day of world adventure, celebrating the diverse cultural communities living in Sri Lanka. The Mosaic Festival was held to celebrate the International Day of Cultural Diversity. The day was an adventure of different traditions, vibrant costumes, dances, performances, songs and workshops. The heart of the festival brimmed with curiosity, harmony and playfulness. Through these new community connections, the children found a common ground between cultures and developed a richer awareness of the beautiful world around them.

Watch the transformation of the boundary wall of the Galle Prison in to a beautiful piece of public art. The Oceanic Conservation Murals project is about raising awareness and educating 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! |
