Visions Camps in Sri Lanka, December 2007

A 5-day Visions student leadership training camp was held in Colombo from December 3-7, 2007 at Saiva Mangaiyar Vidyalayam (Hindu Ladies College). The students established an SLC (Student Leadership Committee) and are eagerly planning events already. They will also be involved in the implementation of the Visions Learning Center project during this next crucial year of development.


The first ever (!) Visions teacher training camp was held in Colombo from December 8-9, 2007, also at Saiva Mangaiyar Vidyalayam (Hindu Ladies College). The teachers were very pleased and grateful; it was also a great opportunity for Visions to begin to develop its teacher training programs. Lessons were held in how to teach leadership, human rights, and citizenship, as well as how to foster personal character development within all students. Special sessions in creative approaches to teaching and Visions Learning Center support were also conducted. We hope to engage the teachers at this school more in the near future and branch out to many more teachers throughout the island.
