Paint a Smile

View(s):

The Rotaract club of the Imperial Institute of Higher Education has recently had the benefit of putting a smile on a few more faces by way of the ‘Paint a Smile’ project that was initiated at the request of the United Nations at the National Youth Day Event. The event was conducted as a measure to create a better living space for children at one of the buildings of the Suchirathodaya Children’s Development Center in Maharagama, a project that was based on mainly painting. The project was carried out on the 8th and 10th of November during which the development center was painted by the members of the Rotaract Club of IIHE, who also spent time with the children at the center. The project came under the community service avenue and was chaired by the community service director Rotaractor Sajith Senevirathna and the paint and all other necessities for the project was sponsored by Target Resource (Pvt) Ltd.

During the first day most of the indoor work was completed; all the rooms were painted, and the children slowly began to get along with the Rotaractors and quite swiftly got comfortable and enjoyed their time till after sunset. The second day was filled with smiles as gift packs were distributed among the children and a lively bond was made between the rotaractors and the children. The children interactively took part in the project; wanting to paint along with the rotaractors. The eventful day with the children turned into an even more memorable one through the singing and the games that were played, moments such as these will always remain embedded as an important part of the rotaractors’ journey. The project was highly successful in the end, and the Rotaract club of Imperial Institute of Higher Education was able to truly paint a smile.
