Opportunity for youth to find their true calling

WOW Riverlution goes live on January 20 at The Stables @ Park Street Mews at 7.15 p.m.

The youth-focused ministry, Riverlution, led by Roshith and Tashali Perera concentrates on youth-empowerment through mediums of sports, performance arts and career guidance. Riverlution gives both youth and young adults an opportunity to find their true calling, while encouraging them to discover the truth of self, devoid of what the world exclaims that to be. ‘When you truly understand who you are – all else follows. Anxiety becomes a thing of the past,’ explains Roshith.

The event is set to bring in personalities in the sectors of fashion, fitness, architecture, f & b, academia, etc. to engage one-on-one and hear their testimonies of trial, transformation and success. To be part of this event call or whatsapp 0772352352 / 0777421235 for
