Unwritten Chapters

Senior citizens are an essential part of every community, carrying with them a lifetime of experiences and wisdom. Yet in a fast-paced world, their voices are often overlooked and their stories remain unheard. "Unwritten Chapters" was created to recognize these individuals and bring their untold journeys into the spotlight.

The project is built on the belief that the experiences of senior citizens hold lasting value. Their lives have shaped families, traditions and communities, and their stories offer meaningful lessons for younger generations. By sharing these narratives, "Unwritten Chapters" encourages understanding, respect and stronger connections between generations.

To bring this vision to life, the project features a short film and a podcast. The short film highlights simple actions that reflect care, patience and respect toward senior citizens. Through everyday moments, it reminds viewers of the importance of supporting elders and building compassionate relationships.

A key element of the project is the podcast featuring Senior Lyricist Mr. Upali Ariyarathna. In this conversation, he reflects on his life journey, the challenges he faced and the values that guided him as an artist and individual. His insights on aging and his advice to young people offer a meaningful perspective shaped by experience.

"Unwritten Chapters" is more than a creative project. It is a tribute to senior citizens and a reminder to value, protect and listen to their stories. By preserving these voices, the project aims to inspire empathy and ensure that the wisdom of our elders continues to guide future generations.

Sparkle Hearts

Christmas is a season rooted in compassion, inclusivity and the joy of caring for one another. Embracing these values, Leo Club of University of Moratuwa in collaboration with Pepiliyana Woodlands Leo Club organized “Sparkle Hearts”, a meaningful Christmas initiative dedicated to sharing happiness and hope with children who truly embody the spirit of resilience. 

The event was held at Sevana Special School and Child Care Centre, Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, where the day unfolded as a celebration of warmth, creativity and togetherness. It began with a simple, yet heartfelt breakfast prepared by the organizing committee, creating a welcoming atmosphere and setting up a positive tone for the celebration. Sharing a meal together helped the children feel comfortable, valued and included from the very beginning. 

As the day continued, a series of engaging activities brought smiles and excitement to the children. A drawing competition allowed them to express their creativity while interactive games and entertainment sessions filled the space with laughter and energy. These activities reflected the joy, freedom and togetherness that make Christmas special. 

A key moment of the event was the distribution of gifts to all children, each carefully prepared to spread festive cheer. Along with the gifts, raw materials were provided for making handmade wristbands, which the children will later sell at their institute’s sales. This initiative was designed to support the centre while encouraging the children to take part in a meaningful and empowering activity. 

Sparkle Hearts united individuals from diverse backgrounds to uplift and inspire children with disabilities. The project captured the true spirit of Christmas, leaving behind memories filled with joy, dignity and hope.
