COVID Free Pera
The project COVID Free Pera has been happening for over 6 months in the University of Peradeniya, which houses 12, 000 students. The project managed to turn the university premises which spans over 700 hectares into a COVID controlled environment. The project grew from humble beginnings to an expansive project which contributed in many ways towards Dr. Rohantha's brainchild: the Stop The Spread Initiative. Having started as a part of Rotary's Stop The Spread Initiative in order to further the Rotary vision of a lively society under the new normal, the project soon became the model project to test the initiatives.
This massive project consists of 7 phases and is still on going.
Phase 1: On-Campus Awareness Workshop
Phase 2: Banner Campaign
Phase 3: Online Awareness Campaign
Phase 4: Donation of washbasins
Phase 5: "Wear a Mask" Challenge
