Today almost every students’ union in the country is conducting scholarship programs to aid the financially handicapped students. “Arunella” which is conducted by the Engineering Students’ Union(ESU) of University of Peradeniya is also initiated with this aim.

History

The idea of having a scholarship fund to aid the students with financial difficulties first came into the minds of the ESU members in 1993. They have proceeded the program and for some reason which we don’t know it was halted in 1997. Again in 2002 this program has been reintroduced with the name “Arunella”.

Today

From there onwards it is continued up to now and today it not only a typical scholarship program. Presently it has two more major components called “O/L seminar program” and “Janatha Mehewara”. Every year from August to November on weekends we are conducting a series of O/L seminar programs throughout the country. Every year we do a social project to help the poor school children of this nation. Last time we built up a library and donated books for the Siyabalanduwa hathare kanuwa Vidyalaya. This time we built up a toilet system for the Ihala Ellewawa Vidyalaya (Pollonnaruwa) and donated books for the library. We are proud to say that we personally involved in the construction process with our hands.

Be a part of Arunella

No need to mention that it’s very difficult to find the required amount of money for all of this. So, for all this to happen we need your help. If you think you are able to help us even with a single rupee, we value it so much. All your donations will be humbly appreciated and you will be having the satisfaction for involving in an act that helps the nation.

Please make a little comment here if you like to donate in any means(money, books, construction material etc.) and I’ll contact you.
