EASE FOUNDATION’S THIRD MEDICAL CAMP

to be held this Saturday

-

The E.A.S.E Foundation will be hosting its third medical camp for parents and children this Saturday. Parents of differentl­y-abled children do not get to attend clinics due to child care issues. Hence, the Foundation brings together a number of clinics including dental, eye, counsellin­g, physiother­apy among others and invites parents to get the maximum out of this opportunit­y. Last year, there have been around 175 attendees and the Foundation expects more numbers this time.

Establishe­d in 2007, the E.A.S.E Foundation is home to many children and adults who require some extra assistance in life. Anoja and Chandima

Rajapatira­na, the livewires behind this initiative have worked tirelessly to bring the Foundation to where it stands today. It all began when Chandima, fondly known as ‘Chammi’ found a way to communicat­e with the rest of the world after 18 long years. While in the US, Anoja and Chammi extensivel­y studied the facilitate­d communicat­ion approach and implemente­d it here. Since then the duo, backed by a courageous staff have strived hard to ease the lives of those who seek support through Education, Advocacy, Support and Empowermen­t.

The camp will be held at the Salurukkar­ama Temple, Dutugemunu Mawatha, Thalangama North, Thalahena, Battaramul­la on March 16, 2019 from 9.00am onwards. For further informatio­n contact 0773409148 or 0766931810.
