Chamod Fernando, the senior most player in the CR&FC men’s rugby team and Kanchana Mahendran, the captain of the CR&FC women’s rugby team, recently visited children warded at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital (LRH), accompanied by the club General Manager Group Captain (retired) Lalith Abeysekera.

Individually wrapped Christmas cakes were handed to over 150 children in three wards.

The visit, conducted under strict social distancing protocols, was facilitated by Dr. H.S.J. Senapathi and Dr. Vasan, and coordinated by Dr. Maadhavi.

Children and parents were overjoyed by the gesture.

The players too were pleased to bring smiles to the faces of the children.

Chamod said: “This was a very humbling experience. Despite the health challenges faced by these children, they are brave and spoke with a positive spirit.”

Kanchana added: “The children inspired me. They were so happy even though some of them are quite unwell. I am so glad I was able to bring some happiness to these children today.”
