SGA

For the first time in my life i started taking part in the Student Government Association. this was because of some misfortunate events which led to our class representative to drop out and I decided to volunteer to become the SGA class representative.

I felt like I took a lot of responsibility undertaking this role so i set some goals to actually get some of the ideas on the shelf and speak for my class for any improvement. I already started getting busy by giving out the valentines cards and attending one meeting, this is the first time i have worked collaboratively with people towards change in this school. i also shared some ideas for valentines which i picked up from my old schools which i thought would be fun for valentines day.

I aim to make myself useful and be helpful to the SGA by also attending and helping in the school events.

Alzheimer's walk

On the 5th February I participated in the Alzheimer's walk to raise awareness. this walk was symbolic not only as a fund raiser for the Alzheimer's foundation but also to raise awareness in areas of colombo where people were not aware of this dementia.

my goal for the walk was to make as many people as possible aware of the dementia by handing out brochures that surprisingly people read. whole i was handing out the information papers i saw that some were already reading them, the people that weren't were so interested that came up to me and asked for a couple to bring to their families. people even stopped their cars to get informed of what was going on.

The walk was done in the poorest part of colombo were awareness of this dementia was very low (almost none). This was a symbolic walk as well as a fund raising walk. the fund raising was 1000Rp per entry. there were people walking and some running. we were very visible as a group since we were all wearing red & white and had balloons and flyers that attracted attention.
