The Rotarians of Colombo North, their families and friends gathered last afternoon at the Home of Compassion Mahawatta to bring a smile to the 60 elders and the staff during this time of year. The home of compassion is one of our oldest RCCN Projects (which began in 1971) and celebrates 54 years of service and 20 years of organising their Christmas Party. To help the destitute is truly worthy and once again thank you to PP Rtn. Shewantha Rodrigo for organizing the event, to Dion and Eshantha De Andrado for joining us this year and to all those who supported and helped to make it a memorable one.

This year’s event was dedicated to the Late PP Dulip Jayamaha, who was a major donor/supporter of this project.
