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.
