Sinhala and Tamil New Year Celebration.

      Last year, for the Sinhala and Tamil new year, the youth society of our church organized a new year celebration. It was held on April 14th. We have prepared various activities for that. We also selected a dress code. So, boys wore sarong and girls wore lungi. We were eagerly waiting for that day.

       On 14th, we got everything ready in the morning. The celebration was in the evening. So we went ready on time. Everyone was very beautiful. First we lit the coconut oil lamp and opened the new year dinner table. Then we started our games.

      First we started the pot breaking contest. I didn't participate that game. Our president was selected as winner. Second we started tug of war. I participated that game and our team won. Then the musical chairs competition was held and I won the third place. 

      Then balloon dance, yogurt eating contest, blowing up balloons, placing the eye on the elephant were held in order. Not only that but also held many games. I won only three games. After that we had our gifts. 

      We prepared a cake for friends whose birthday was in April. Then we had our dinner and we started to dance. We took photos also. We had lot of fun that day.
