Celebrated International Women’s Day with the delightful residents at St. Margaret’s Home for Ladies.

More games were played and then the residents really got into the swing of things which saw had them clapping along and even had a few of them dancing to some Sri Lankan classics and old-time English tunes. Gifts of face wash and face cream were sponsored by Hemas and Siddhalepa generously donated a bottle of Asamodagam Spirit for each of the ladies and their helpers. A splendid brunch followed by pudding, ice cream and fruit was enjoyed by all. It was such a blessing to be able to bring some joy and entertainment to the ladies on International Women’s Day.
