BASKETBALL
My second try out for the basketball team has recently begun. This year we are decidedly with less firepower than last year, nevertheless the enthusiasm and determination of younger students are positive. Training is as usual both mentally and physically challenging but it becomes extremely rewarding to meet the challenge and makes the activity more fun.
Sri Lanka Alzheimer's Foundation Walk
Our elective group from the Overseas School of Colombo participated in a charity walk organised by the SL Alzheimer foundation. The majority of particpants were elderly so the teenagers from our group helped provide a bit more energy to the event. The walk was a short 4 kilometers, with lots of music, red&white balloons and large banners. This was the first time we had actively participated with the larger alzheimer foundation group and it was pleasing to see the fairly widespread response the event recieved.
