DAWG Sterilization & Vaccination 

     On the 27th of November, the community and service group DAWG (Dog Awareness Welfare Group) has organized a Dog and Cat sterilization and vaccination for the community around the Battaramula area.(Planned and initiated activities, Engaged with issues of global importance) The sterilization was taken place at one of the government building besides the Battaramula main road. We started off from 8 am till 2 pm. We had vets and trainees which we have hired and the other community for stray dos, 'Dogstar' coming to give us a hand. All the money that we have raised from the previous events, the movie night, the bake sale during the primary production. As the result there were about 50 dogs and cat assigned for the sterilizations and vaccinations throughout the day.

     We are very pleased this year because we have reached our goal early. Since usually we will organize the event during the second semester of the school year.
     Our next goal is to continue collecting money by doing find raising during the second semester aiming for the next year sterilization. 

Football Update. Action continues !

24 Days till SAISA..

The girls SAISA soccer team of OSC has been working hard on practises. We run, sprint, jogging, kicking and even rolling on the ground. We tend to have 4 practises per week.

• Tuesday 2:50- 5:00 pm
• Wednesday 6:00- 7:00 am
• Friday 2:50-  5:00 pm
• Saturday 10:00-12:00 am

After last week, we decided to cut down people in the team, luckily.. 20 from 24. Which makes sense, because the SAISA tournament will be held here in Colombo.
We have choosen our captians for the team, apparently I was also one of the nomination.
      The First captian is Saba Rawald
      The Vice captian is Ayla Yurtaslan
I've achieved my goal in football. I'm possitioned as a central mid-fielder together with Saba Rewald. I have had sessions with Chrisni Mendis for goalie training although, not so much anymore because we have a special coach who volunteered to help her, Ms. Nelly. I also realized how my body is somehow getting into shape. Since, I'm no longer get 'dead tired' in the middle of the game and able to play throughout the whole match.

I've finally learned how to make a 'step over'! My next goal for this is to able to apply that technique into a real game situation!

แบดมินตัน (Badminton) Actions and Service

      Terunaga Temura and I decided to create a BADMINTON After School Activity(ASA) group for students to participate on every Monday at 2:45 till 3:45. Mr. De Silva has volunteered to supervise and to participate with the group. The purpose of the ASA is to have fun and learn about techniques at the same time.
      Terunaga and I have been playing badminton for many years and decided to create a proper group with students in the OSC community of grade 9-12 to join. This could also be an oppotunity for us to practice the basic skills with people who are learning and develop numbers of OSC students into the school team for SAISA Badminton which will be held at OSC in February 2011.

My personal goal to achieve during this quarter for Badminton ASA group is:

• To build up my basic skills that I have forgotten (I stopped playing badminton for 2 years after recieving the 3rd rank in Thailand)
• Able to help one of the player in the group in order to get into the school badminton team in the future.
• Get in shape for football (and other sports participating in the future)
• Have Fun (:
