Image62070 Major project – Play for All

This project aims to create an inclusive park for special children with disabled friendly equipment. ETD is working on the necessary approvals for such a project, liaising with Governmental organisations. This project was designed to integrate the kids with special needs and peers to enjoy the same facilities that are currently being enjoyed by other kids. This world is as much theirs.

It is up to society to ensure that we together create and work towards a disabled friendly Sri Lanka.

Another major project

Identify the needs and facilities available for people with autism in Sri Lanka and invite experts in from foreign countries, to advise, Image62078guide and get involved, in providing information and training for those dealing with autism and launching the Mente Band for autistic persons under the guidance of experts from Singapore and local medical experts.

Other projects 

Lantern Talks project which was a success – ETD wishes to recognise the abilities and talents of special kids. A Christmas Card project will be launched, where the selected cards will be sold at Laksala outlets and all proceeds towards the kids who created it.

Spend an evening at an Elders Home – sharing with them the simple joys of friendship, camaraderie and fellowship, which are taken for granted by others. Project titled, ‘Let’s spread sunshine around’.

Spend a day at a Special Kids home, continuing with the project ‘Lets spread shine around’, which will include a talent show, cookery demonstration, helping them to openly express  themselves through music, dancing, painting etc.
