On November 30th at 3 PM, we hosted Project Playful Minds at the LOLC Childcare Center. Led by Mrs. Amaya
Fernando, psychotherapist and a lecturer at University of Kelaniya. This session aimed to foster essential
life skills in 16 children.
Through a series of engaging team games and interactive drama sessions, the children were encouraged to
develop key skills. They learned to express thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively, collaborate with
peers, respond rapidly to challenges, and make informed decisions.
By providing a fun and supportive learning environment, we hope to empower these young individuals and equip
them with the tools they need to succeed.
