The Sri Lanka Federation of the Visually Handicapped is excited to announce their choir (comprising of talented visually impaired singers) is now available for bookings in the 2023 Christmas season. The choir members are eagerly looking forward to bringing their special brand of festive cheer to corporates, hotels and homes.
The Sri Lanka Federation of the Visually Handicapped is an organization that aims to improve the quality of life of the visually impaired population of Sri Lanka. Every year the Federation brings together a group of multi-talented visually handicapped singers to form a choir that performs at reputed establishment and functions during the festive season. The choir has a long history of performing at leading hotels, end-of-year office functions, shopping malls, apartment complexes and other institutions and are a much-loved part of the annual festivities of a number of organizations.
The choir performs four-part singing and their repertoire includes English, Sinhala, and Tamil carols. The total programme can be tailor-made to run for twenty to forty minutes based on each organization’s requirements. The funds raised from these engagements will be used to cover the expenses of the choir and any remaining funds will be used to support the ongoing activities of the Federation. Please contact Ms. Nilmini on 0711-949379 or email [email protected] to book the choir for your function or for any questions and clarifications.
In addition to the choir, the Federation supports self-employment projects by its members. Unfortunately, due to COVID, most of the self-employment activities funded by the organization were forced to come to a stand-still resulting in many members losing their only source of income. Any organizations that are interested in supporting self-employment projects either financially or through the provision of raw materials by donating old magazines, newspapers, scrap papers or fabric can contact Ms. Nilmini on 0711-949379 or email [email protected].
The Federation is also in urgent need of volunteers to assist with administration, letter-writing, fundraising for 2-3 hours per week. Please contact 0777-711044 for inquiries regarding volunteer opportunities.
