Friends organises Senehasa youth orphans’ camp

Begun on New Year’s Day in 1986, the ‘Friends’ group consisted of several dynamic young individuals set about to do their part in making the world better. Today, after over 25 years of genuine service to many parts of the less providential society, ‘Friends’ have morphed into a fully-fledged social services organisation.

The annual youth camps it organises to bring together orphaned adolescents from different parts of the country, for workshops focusing on personality and skill development is one of the many endeavors taken up by this organisation. This year, the ninth Senehasa youth orphans’ camp will be held from December 13 to 16, at the Subhodi Institute for Integral Education in Wewala, Piliyandala.

“Our objective is to instill good leadership qualities in the participants. We wish to bestow them with skills and knowledge that would help them to become wholesome individuals. We want to give them equal opportunities as children with families,” stated the organising committee.

The Friends motto is ‘Search, reach out and help’ and this is exactly what they do. It is one organisation that consists of dynamic and dedicated individuals looking to better the lives of Sri Lanka’s youth. The camp this year will consists of various workshops relating to recreational activities and educational seminars.

All are invited to contribute to the programme in any manner or attend this programme. For further details visit www.friends4senehasa.org or call Pasqual on 0773062302.
