The social service project titled “Sathkāra – Bloom with Confidence: Motivation, Personal Hygiene and Grooming Workshop” was successfully conducted on 22nd May 2025 at Viharamaha Devi Girls’ School, Colombo.
The programme was designed to empower schoolgirls from less privileged backgrounds by equipping them with essential life skills, positive motivation, and practical knowledge to support their personal development during a formative stage of life. The workshop comprised a structured motivational session together with an interactive presentation on personal hygiene and grooming, aimed at enhancing self-confidence, self-awareness, and social readiness.
The sessions were delivered by distinguished guest speakers, Mrs. Chathurika De Silva, Attorney-at-Law and Management Accountant, and Mrs. Nilakshi Nagahamulla, Professional Hairdresser and Beautician, who served as resource persons for the programme. Their expertise and engaging delivery provided valuable insights and practical guidance, while also inspiring the students to approach their future with confidence and purpose.
Approximately 150 schoolgirls from Grades 8, 9, and 10 participated in the workshop. The programme encouraged open interaction and active participation, enabling students to gain a clearer understanding of personal care, self-presentation, and the importance of maintaining positive attitudes in both academic and social environments.
The positive response and level of engagement observed throughout the programme highlighted the significance of such initiatives in supporting the holistic development of young students. Sathkāra – Bloom with Confidence stands as a meaningful and impactful project, reinforcing a continued commitment to fostering confidence, dignity, and personal growth among the next generation.
