The garbage cleaning issue at present is not only attributable to tourists places but along the main railway line of the country inclusive of intermediary railway stations. Thus tons and tons non biodegradable solid waste is collected off disposal sites incurring millions of taxpayer rupees in expense. The principal cause for the in-efficacious garbage disposal being the travelers' unawareness of disposal sites and methods forcing them to dispose of solid waste matter then and there. As a measure the project "Siripa Karuna" organized by the Rotaract Club of University of Peradeniya in order to make the public aware about methods and proper ways of grabage disposal and most importantly we want to make their mindset, not to throw grabage out of the train window and around the train while travelling.   After finishing off the awareness program, we ended the project by worshiping Sri padha as we intended  with fellow rotaractors.

With the tag line " love is an art that comes from the heart" , we held the project "Spread love" by opening our hearts for celebrating valentines day. We conducted the project on  16th of February from 9 a.m on wards as a fundraiser for upcoming community service projects. The project spread love took place at George De Silva car park, by attracting a huge crowd in Kandy which lead until 5.00 p.m. We didn't expect such a crowd as it was a small stall which we had to conduct two days after the valentines day.

Be the light that helps others see Sri Lanka is a country where all the schools do not receive equal facilities and opportunities. Because of so many unavoidable reasons, schools in rural areas do not have the access to the standard education system.   Since they do not have all the facilities, under the theme “ opening minds, enlightening future” in the project Prathibhana ’18, we organized a practical knowledge program for A/L science students who have less facilities like laboratories and teachers in Nuwara Eliya district.

The future of the country depends on the actions of the present generation. Child birth is the most beautiful and most fascinating phenomena in the nature. We, being the Rotaract Club of University of Peradeniya, took a step to value and appreciate this nature's miracle. This project focused on giving donations for mothers and their newly born babies. And also to spend the day with them trying to forget the pain they go through, even for a day.  In Sri Lanka, there are so many maternity clinics, but only few of those clinics get the best rewards from the government. Some maternity clinics do not have very good facilities and they do not receive all the requirements which they need from the government. But every mother get “Poshana malla” from the government, but it includes only food. So we thought of giving them food and some other requirements which are needed for babies and mothers because they are in need of those things badly as they have a very low income. ...
