Women’s Day
For IWD24, the CLS ladies went out there to practically inspire inclusion on the streets of Colombo. In a humble effort to appreciate the hard work and dedication of the strong Women who clean and take care of the streets in Colombo, we donated packs of dry rations during the morning hours of last Friday.
A team of CLS ladies carried out this rewarding project, by sourcing the items, bags and packing and distributing them. We hope that we were able to inspire these great women to keep doing their great job with dedication and hope.
