The premises of Synergy Heart and Soul, a school dedicated to differently-abled children in Makola, were filled with laughter and excitement last Monday as students celebrated the Sinhala and Tamil New Year with traditional games and rituals.

The children enthusiastically took part in a variety of festive activities, including sack races, tug of war, lime and spoon races, and the ever-popular “placing the elephant’s eye.” The event aimed to provide the students with a joyful and inclusive experience of Lankan cultural traditions.

Founded by Nihal Pathirage, Chairman of Rangiri Holdings, Synergy Heart and Soul continues to serve as a nurturing environment for differently-abled children, offering them opportunities for personal growth, community, and celebration.
