#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 […]
#33 Traditions, Games and Event Planning
අවින්‍යා අඬබෙරකරුගේ අලුත් අවුරුදු පණිවිඩය This week was full of millstones. We reached the end of our first term, which felt like a blink of an eye from when we began our journey is January. The students will be on a well deserved break to celebrate the Sinhala Tamil New Year and Easter. Also, for […]

#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 […]
#30 Flambeau, 50:30:20 and a Passport to Cyberspace
Hello! It’s Isuru again. Another awesome week has passed since our last blog update and we are so excited to share our thoughts and experiences with you people. Personally, last week was so special for me because it was my birthday. I still can’t stop smiling when I think about all the love and […]
#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 […]

#26 Be my Valentine, Upcycling and the Elements
As I write this I’m sitting in a borrowed Educator office space with a ‘sea view’ room (well at least a beautiful water body called the Metta pond), I hear the soft murmurs of a school and realized how much this is a part of me. I observed the Educators have a stronger spring in […]
#25 Acclimatization, Fitness, Multi-tasking and chocolate
It’s been a week of…well the best word that I can think of is… acclimatization. We’ve been down in Bandaragama frequently over the past few months for interviews, site visits and meetings. Orientation week gave us a sneak peek but this week…well this week has been a full window into our new adventure! The […]
