We are honoured and excited to be invited to perform at a regional cultural show in Delhi, on the 9th of November 2008.  Performing groups from India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan were invited to perform pieces in their cultural show which focuses on the performing arts for disabled persons, and Sunera has been selected to be the Sri Lankan delegation.  A total 0f 7 Sunera participants are going to Delhi in November to perform - watch this space!

Samanalayaya 2008 is about to begin in the Districts!  Go to our work to find out more!

Sunera is determined to touch an increasng number of disabled lives in Sri Lanka.  Hence, we were pleased to open 4 new workshops along the south coast - 2 in Galle and 2 in Matara.

 The Field Unit is in the process of building networks in many Districts so that we can plan even more new workshops.

Sunera’s new forum theatre project has completed 4 successful performances in the Kurunegala District.  For for more details, see our “ongoing work” section.

We have started new workshops in Kottawa and Panadura in April 2008.  Participants in these areas are happy to a space where they can interact and express themselves!

Whilst the Sunera Office was closed during the Buddhist/Hindu New Year, thats not to say that we were not busy during the New Year Period!  Sunera Workshops had organised exciting and colourful Avrudhu events and celebrations in various parts of the country and these were enjoyed by participants and members of their community alike!
