Colours for a cause

Colours for a Cause is an Arts and Crafts exhibition showcased by the children of the Angela Child Development Centre.

The girls (7-18 years) have been practicing for the past few months with the guidance of their art teacher and handicraft teacher, to bring together numerous interesting pieces of artwork such as paintings, painted mugs, pottery, bead jewellery and wall hangings. In addition to the children at the Home, a handful of the children's friends would also be showcasing their artwork.

Colour for a Cause would be held on Saturday December 17 from 10.30 am to 7 pm at 'Casa Serena', No. 122 Havelock Road. All proceeds would be used towards developing the play area of the home.

The home opened its doors to orphans and socially handicapped children way back in 1951 at the present location Lakshapatiya Moratuwa, at the behest of late Lady Evadnie De Silva, wife of late Sir Ernest De Silva. The home is a Government approved charity which is still managed by family members and supervised by the Child Care and Probation Department.

The celebrated artist and children's author Sybil Wettasinghe will be the honoured chief guest.
