LFL-SRC engagement at the Community level together with Authorities
Following the information we received through the Divisional Child Development Committee and CRPO (Child Rights Promoting Officer) our project staff visited a child who has been living with many difficulties and low basic needs. We notice issues in the protection, nutrition, and well-being of the child. Based on the information collected by our staff together with the CRPO of the Walallavita Divisional Secretariat, LFL-SRC is now looking forward to helping this child. It is important to strengthen the Community-Based Child Protection System which can address these sorts of issues and facilitate children to access required services and support to fulfil their basic needs as well as essential materials for education, protection, and survival. |

04th January 2013 The idea of creating the organization "Learning for Life - S.R.C." was born in October 2012 as a discussion between Mr. Chathuranga Guruge and Ms. Christina Reddeback. Mr. Guruge had a dream in many years to establish a local organization in Sri Lanka extending the service of his expertise in Child Rights Programming and Community Based Child Protection to the local communities and vulnerable children after he returned back from Australia. During the time Mrs. Riddeback requested Mr. Chathuranga Guruge to take over Star for Life Sri Lanka programme and initiate its full phase of operation under a new organization and became the Country Manger of SFL SL. The result of all these discussions and agreements were to establish and register the LFL-SRC organization as a Non-Profit, Non-Government Organization in Sri Lanka during 2013. For this purpose, Mr. Guruge and Ms. Riddeback invited Mr. Bo Krigsman as well from Sweden to be a part of this. Image: Mr. Chathuranga Guruge and Mrs. Christina Riddeback were working and preparing necessary documents for the legal establishment of the organization. - December 2012 at Galle Face Hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka. |
