The Association of Food Science and Technology reaffirmed its commitment to social responsibility through the “Athwel Pawura – 2024” initiative. This year, the project focused on enhancing science education at Welimada Central College by repairing and restoring microscopes in the school’s advanced-level physics and biology laboratories. Additionally, whiteboards and books were donated to enrich classroom learning environments and expand library resources.
Members of the Association of Food Science and Technology, along with the Department of Food Science and Technology, actively participated by donating school textbooks, storybooks, past examination papers, and writing materials. To support the initiative financially, members organized creative fundraising activities, including the sale of bookmarks in various locations and soliciting contributions from alumni, corporate sponsors, and individual donors. These collective efforts ensured the successful execution of the project without financial constraints.
Beyond its immediate educational benefits, Athwel Pawura – 2024 provided an invaluable learning experience for the organizing members, equipping them with essential skills in project management, teamwork, and leadership. This initiative underscores the Association’s ongoing dedication to fostering educational development and empowering future generations through improved learning opportunities.
