Celebrated internationally, Children's Day comes as a happy reminder of the importance of children in our lives. It is a commitment to develop the talents of our youngest citizens in Sri Lanka. In keeping with this objective, the University Alumni Rotaract Club started "Arunalu Lama Dinaya," an endearing program aimed at helping impoverished kids achieve holistic development.

The concept for this initiative came from a profound awareness of the injustices that many kids must endure. Arunalu Lama Dinaya worked to improve the prospects of the kids of the Lakhiru Sevana Housing Complex by spreading happiness, opportunity, and hope. Rotaractors and volunteers came together on a clear, laugh-filled morning with the intention of weaving the day into a mosaic of creativity, education, and celebration.

Excitement and anticipation were high as the exhibition room was set up for the day. The program included a variety of events aimed at showcasing the kids' abilities, such as interactive sessions, performances, and art exhibitions where budding artists could showcase their skills. Renowned visitors imparted pearls of wisdom, inspiring the kids to have ambitious dreams.

A religious event was held to add a spiritual depth and promote peace and understanding within the diverse community. Instilling concepts of fairness and peace, this part emphasized how crucial it is to raise children with these ideals. Activities to improve skills, abilities, and interpersonal relationships continued throughout the day, fostering a happy and festive mood.

The success of the event in fostering inclusivity and dismantling barriers was proven by the children's beaming smiles and the closer community ties. Arunalu Lama Dinaya was a voyage of shared experiences and group growth that left a lasting impression on every participant—it was more than just an event..

The project’s core objectives included building a sense of community, showcasing and nurturing talents, celebrating inclusivity and diversity, ensuring a safe environment, fostering educational engagement, and encouraging positive interactions between children and adults. These goals were aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals of Quality Education, Reduced Inequality, and Peace and Justice Strong Institutions.

Arunalu Lama Dinaya stands as a beacon of the transformative power of collective compassion. It has planted seeds of hope, skill, and unity, creating not just a memorable Children's Day program but a source of enduring empowerment. As the sun set on the Lakhiru Housing Complex, it left behind a community that was brighter, more united, and more resilient—a living testament to the spirit of Arunalu Lama Dinaya.
