The Serendipity Trust is very proud to share this excellent video with you which shows 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. |
This Oceanic Conservation Mural was 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. A beautiful coastal city.
The mural project was proudly sponsored by the Serendipity Trust. The Prison organized two days of beach clean ups with the prison inmates and local community. At the grand opening of the mural, educational speeches about the ocean and plastic pollution were given in a community hall to a crowd of 700 people. We then all walked through the city handing out flyers and giving information about plastic pollution.
Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this inspiring project!
