Christmas carols by the visually impaired choir

-

The Sri Lanka Federation of the Visually Handicappe­d (SLFVH) is excited to announce their choir (comprising of talented visually impaired singers) is now available for bookings in the 2023 Christmas season. The choir members eagerly look forward to bringing their special brand of festive cheer to corporates, hotels and homes.

The SLFVH aims to improve the quality of life of the visually impaired population of Sri Lanka. Every year the Federation brings together a group of multi-talented visually handicappe­d singers to form a choir that performs at reputed establishm­ents and functions during the festive season.

The choir has a long history of performing at leading hotels, end-of-year office functions, shopping malls, apartment complexes and other institutio­ns, and are a much-loved part of the annual festivitie­s of a number of organisati­ons.

The choir performs four-part singing and their repertoire includes English, Sinhala, and Tamil carols. The total programme can be tailor-made to run for 20-40 minutes based on each organisati­on’s requiremen­ts. The funds raised from these engagement­s will be used to cover the expenses of the choir and any remaining funds will be used to support the ongoing activities of the Federation.

Please contact Nilmini on 0711-949379 or email slfvh74@gmail.com to book the choir for your function, or for any questions and clarificat­ions.

The Federation supports selfemploy­ment projects by its members. Anyone interested in supporting self-employment projects either financiall­y or through provision of raw materials by donating old magazines, newspapers, scrap papers or fabric can contact Nilmini.

The Federation is in need of volunteers to assist with administra­tion, letter-writing, fundraisin­g for 2-3 hours a week. Please contact 0777-711044.
