#36 Sunsets, Resets, Opportunities and Volunteerism
“Every sunset is an opportunity to reset. Every sunrise begins with new eyes.” — Richie Norton The first week of term is always eventful, and this term at Avinya Academy Bandaragama was no exception. We were all excited to see all our students again and help them continue their journey towards vocational training. As always, […]
#35 Into the Unknown!
Yes, it’s me again. The one who speaks in song lyrics. The students are still on break (we hear they have been trying to come to campus even though it’s been closed for students). Loving the enthusiasm! Training Days While the students are away the Academic team has been hard at work (and play), training […]
#34 How Do You Solve a Problem like Maria?
Points if you sang along or even knew the title came from a musical. It’s from Sound of Music and the song ends with this line “How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?” Seems beautiful but impossible, yes? That’s how I felt when Anju asked me a simple question “Dee, How was the […]

#31 Mindfulness, Teenage diaries and Inspiring Speakers
Hello everyone, It’s another Friday and another blog entry is born. This week we stepped into some still water and caused some ripples (no, no one took a dive into the Meththa pond in front of our premises). So far our projects have touched base on themes such as upcycling, fashion and digitization. This […]

#29 Avinya Avant-garde, Dr. Phil and UNO!
Hi and welcome back! I have recovered (mostly) from my untimely meeting with a staircase and am back to take the reins for our weekly update while our beloved resident blogger is out somewhere counting taps, hunting down accountants and trying to minimize a file to 100KB. Truly an adventurous week. In the meantime, Isuru […]
#28 Special Bouquets, Avinya Style and Developing Shilpa
We’ve got yet another special edition blog this week which I’m thrilled to share with you. We have a guest feature by none other than Dr. Tara de Mel who visited us this week and who is also a Member of the Avinya Foundation. The students were very happy to share their project work with […]
