Life federation projects with AIESEC Colombo Central


From Blogger

Life federation was founded back in 2011 it was an initiative of Mr. Warunakantha Perera the president of the organization who I got to know through another AIESEC project I did with Leo club of Bokundara when I was the Vice president for projects in Colombo Central Local Committee also known as CCLC. That year Leo Bokundara President Mr. Manuja De Silva and the project coordinator Mr. Gihan De Silva also board members of the Life Federation.


For the first time AIESEC CCLC started a project with Life federation in June 2011. It was easy for me to work with them as the AIESEC representative because they have worked with me before for an similar kind of project. The main purpose of the project was help school & pre-school children with their English education the project was held in Kandy & Horana. Project was a success and it went nearly 3 months with participation of Volunteers from China , United Kingdom & Czech Republic.

Now for the second time Life federation is working together with AIESEC CCLC for an Education project for Education project and Environmental project which is focused on recycling. I thought to publish the details about upcoming projects of Life federation with AIESEC to help my fellow AIESECers to find potential volunteers for those projects. I hope that you will get enough information about the project from by blog site if you still have any doubts feel free to contact me.

Why I start this Blog ?


I thought to introduce about me and my work from the first post that I will put in this blog site. Being short and sweet I would say that I’m a simple and fun loving guy who likes to help others. And I believe volunteering is a powerful tool which we can use to help others as well as develop ourselves. So far I have done few volunteer activities which I enjoyed most and I will share my unforgettable & joyful experiences in my future posts. 


Being an undergraduate of University of Colombo I was privileged to join a global student organization called AIESEC. In which the vision is “Peace and Fulfillment of Human kinds Potential” through the concept of student exchange. After I joined it I worked with team who handles incoming exchanges what we did was we search for opportunities that foreign interns/volunteers can come here and work. There are two kinds of opportunities that we are creating one is corporate internships & the other one is community development projects. What I liked most is the Community Development Program in which foreign volunteers come here & work in issue based projects from which the society gets a positive impact. 


I’m very happy because I have being a part of this lovely organization to provide volunteer experiences. It is enthusiastic to see that our society and people get benefits because of the foreign volunteers we bring down while the volunteers are having really nice cultural experience in Sri Lanka. 


Why I wanted to start this blog is to encourage local people in volunteering to help others & the other thing is I wanted to raise the attention of foreign volunteer’s towards Sri Lanka. What I can tell for my foreign friends is if you are interesting in volunteering choose Sri Lanka because our people are very friendly and warmhearted. I’m pretty sure you will have the nicest experience here in my beautiful country than any other.
