"Sara Van Poucke" volunteer from Belgium visited the Blue Rose School as a part of her academic work. She made a generous donation of Rs. 30,000/- (200 Euro) on April 02, 2012, towards our transport fund which was in bad shape. This can be used to cover the costs for the school van for the next 4 months (Rs. 7500/month). We thank her for this great gesture. http://www.blueroseschool.com/1/post/2012/04/sara-van-poucke.html  Finding jobs for special need students is said to be a very difficult task, and no company or individual is ready to hire such a person to work for them. SCI-SL has proved everyone wrong by hiring a former student of Blue Rose School as a full time member of SCI-SL. Iresh Haliyagoda, former student of the Blue Rose School has now been assigned as a full time member of SCI-SL. He is primarily responsible for maintaining the library, assisting the mushroom project, and keeping the premises clean. He will also be provided with certain responsibilities regarding incoming visitors. We are proud to say that he has already made some significant progress. Down syndrome students of Blue Rose School participated in the Down syndrome day Celebration party held in Colombo on the 11th of April, 2012. They presented a dance which was appreciated and applauded by the audience. Five volunteers from Denmark have arrived at the SCI-SL, and they have been placed at our peace center in Muthur. SCI officials have finished finalizing dates, venue, and everything else required for the summer work-camp 2012. Click here for more details. Willy Dries & Els Bervoets from Belgium have donated 200 euro's in response to our appeal on www.blueroseschool.com. They have been our regular donors and we thank them on behalf of the Blue Rose School and SCI. Thank you very much. We appreciate what you do to help us.
 After year 2009, a lot of people have started volunteering in Sri Lanka. As a result of this 11 young Danish volunteers came to SCI Sri Lanka to give their cooperation to several projects run through SCI. As we got a quite big group we had to organize a 5 day orientation for them. This orientation included a session to aware them about the diseases prevailing in Sri Lanka, how to prevent them, precautions they can take.etc. Also, we talked about the cultural aspects and how it affects to a person who comes from an another country. With parallel to this orientation we took them for a kandy city travel and one day trip to Ambuluwawa. Meanwhile, we had a one day work-camp at the Blue Rose special school with the collaboration of Rotary club. The main tasks were to paint the main hall in Blue Rose school, to cut a big dead tree in the play ground, cleaning the play ground and separating polythene in garbage thrown from mushroom project, repairing the small play ground inside the school. Nearly 30 people cooperated to this event including SCI members, foreign volunteers, members of the Rotary club, teachers and the parents of Blue Rose school.
