Project "Eco Roots" - Planting the Values of Sustainability in Children

"Eco Roots" is a large scale plastic pollution awareness platform led by the Rotary Club of Kolonnawa of Rotary District 3220 for the kindergarten and primary school teachers and trainees targeting early childhood education to deliver environment awareness, education and sustainable behavioural change young minds.

Another project was successfully conducted on 16th May 2026, at the National Children’s Educational Foundation, Mulleriyawa under the leadership of President Rtn. Sandali Geethma, the District 3220 Project Chair of Rotary for Environment.

The project focused on empowering early childhood educators with knowledge on:

* Plastic pollution and its environment and health effects
* Microplastics
* Waste management,
* Eco-friendly lifestyles, and the importance of integrating the 5S concept into early childhood education.

A total of 150 kindergarten teachers and trainee teachers directly benefitted through this educational and awareness initiative, helping to strengthen the role of educators in shaping environmentally responsible future generations.

One of the highlights of the program was the Creative Challenge, where participants actively engaged in innovative learning activities and presentations related to sustainability and environmental awareness.

The Best Presentation was specially recognized and awarded, encouraging creativity, participation, and practical environmental education approaches among teachers.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Rotary International District 3220 District Governor Delvin Pereira, District Grant Chair PDG Pubudu de Zoysa, DRFC PDG Ajith Weerasinghe and the entire team for the valuable District Grant support which enabled the successful implementation of this impactful initiative under Rotary for Environment RID 3220

A heartfelt thank you goes to all Rotarians of RC Kolonawa, volunteers, facilitators, and supporters who contributed towards the success of the project.

Special appreciation is extended to National Children’s Education Foundation (NCEF) for their tremendous support in coordination, beneficiary engagement, venue facilities, and collaboration throughout the project.

Together, we continue planting the seeds for a healthier, greener, and more sustainable future for children and communities. 🌍♻️💚

An unforgettable night of music, purpose, and togetherness!

On April 24th, the Women in Rotary Vital Voices team of Rotary District 3220 proudly hosted an exclusive Rotary screening of the world premiere of Michael at Havelock City Mall, Scope Cinemas (Dolby Atmos).

The 7:30 PM show was completely sold out, bringing together an incredible audience dressed in iconic 80s, 90s, and Michael Jackson inspired styles to celebrate the voice that moved the world.

More than just a cinematic experience, this was a purpose driven initiative. Through this event, we were able to raise LKR 1 million in support of the cyclone affected schools digital transformation project demonstrating the true power of collective impact.

The evening was brought to life with vibrant energy music, dancing, and a unique Pelican Bar experience by Rockland, featuring specially curated Michael Jackson themed cocktails and mocktails.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our main sponsors, John Keells Properties – Vauxhall District and Swisstec, for their invaluable support in making this landmark event a success. A very special thank you to our District Governor Delvin Pereira for his unwavering support.

This milestone event marks one of the first instances in Rotary history of hosting an official world premiere screening blending fellowship, innovation, and service in one unforgettable experience.
