Vision Impaired Youth Awurudu Uthsawaya

The most awaited event of the year for all vision impaired youth community; “Awurudu Uthsawaya 2015” was organized by Sri Lanka Federation for the Visually Handicapped Youth Forum and Sri Lanka Federation for the Visually Handicapped Kaluthara branch was held on the 3^rd of May at Kaluthara Ashakara temple grounds.

The event started at 10.30 a.m. The first event was “Breaking the Lucky Pot”, where eyes were closed of all the participants who had to break the pot which had milk in it. Pots were hanged, with a help of a rope. Here’s a short video of the event.

“Feeding Yogurt” competition was really fun for the spectators. Yogurts were flying all over the place because the eyes were closed of the person who fed yogurt.

Our team won the “Kaba Adima”, a team game with six players per side. The game to find the Hidden Stranger was really fun. Most of the people guessed the wrong person and in one case all people surrounded one of my friends and tried to carry him to the announcing area to show that they found the hidden stranger when he was not the person. U. Priyantha, the chief organizer was the hidden stranger.

Menaka Sujani won the Awurudu Kumariya competition. It was not a surprise for anyone because she was looking gorgeous. 

There were many more events and we enjoyed a lot.
