Proud of Our Future Graduates : A Compassionate Initiative by Intake 41 – Nursing Students of KDU
We as the department are immensely proud to appreciate the outstanding initiative taken by Intake 41 – Nursing undergraduates who decided to use the money they collected for their annual batch trip to support schoolchildren affected by recent landslides and floods.
After thoughtful discussion among themselves, they collectively decided to stand in solidarity with their younger brothers and sisters who were affected by the recent landslides and floods. This decision truly reflects the core values of empathy, service, and humanity.
Through their self-initiated project titled “සෙනෙහසේ අත්වැල”, the students successfully organized a donation program at Ambalakanda Maha Vidyalaya, situated in the Aranayake area of the Kegalle District. Basic school necessities including books, pens, pencils, lunch boxes, water bottles, and school bags were donated to 72 students from Grade 1 to Grade 13 who were affected by the disaster.
This meaningful program was conducted with the kind permission and support of the Principal of Ambalakanda Maha Vidyalaya, Ven. Deiyagala Piyananda Thero, and was further strengthened by the generous guidance and assistance of their seniors. We are pleased to note that all members of Intake 41 actively participated, demonstrating excellent teamwork and commitment.
The program was successfully completed as planned on 19th December. On behalf of the Department, I extend my sincere appreciation to Intake 41 for this commendable effort. You have not only supported a community in need but have also set a remarkable example of leadership and social responsibility for others to follow.
Well done, Intake 41. You make us truly proud.
