"Smile" is an annual Community Service project conducted by the Rotaract Club of University of Sri Jayewardenepura in aid of those individuals who are often shunned from the society due to their suffering from Down Syndrome.
As for the second objective, with the initiative of Rotaractors Hasini and Osanda the club was able to collect a sufficient amount of donations of dry rations, milk powder packs and toiletry items. Apart from these donations, club members also donated money to the institution in order to support these individuals who seek support of this institution.

"Smile 2015" chaired by Rotaractor Hasini De Silva and Rotaractor Osanda Wijesudara was held on the 28th of October, 2015 at the Madivela Partly Abled Boys Home & Prevocational Training Center from 1.00pm onwards with a participation of 30 club members together with the participation of members from Rotaract Club of Faculty of Arts, UOC.
This project was framed upon two main objectives which were to recognize these individuals as equals while helping them to fulfill their basic needs despite of their restricted environment conditions.
The club members organized an evening full of various fun games and activities like cricket matches, sing alongs and musical chairs for these individuals where they were able to enjoy themselves to the fullest despite of the deficiencies they possess according to the society. The members were seen engaging with these individuals as brothers and sisters of one family through which the first objective of this project was accomplished.
