This year, the Cambridge University Sri Lanka Society will be supporting two charities:

- The Sunera Foundation which aims to improve the lives of people living with disabilities in Sri Lanka, through the establishment of theatre groups and the promotion of the arts and drama among disabled people
http://www.sunerafoundation.org/

- The Crippled Children’s Aid Association which aims to aid in the provision of education and recreational needs for disabled children

We hope you’ll agree that both are extremely worthwhile causes.
