HEALTH & WELLNESS DAY

We called a physical educator as our initial resource. Through one of our former students, Miss Upuli, we attempted to contact a qualified instructor (Sports Nutritionist). But after getting in touch with her, we learned that the instructor's fee would be exorbitant and that we would also need to supply transportation. The committee determined that the instructor should be changed because the budget allotted is so small. Then, during a field visit, we ran with Physical Instructor Mr. Sampath from the Kuliyapitiya premises. He was approached by Shanuka, and he agreed to conduct the session without charge. He assured us that the program will be run by him or another instructor.

  After confirming the school we developed a plan for the Health and Wellness Day. There are major four programs in the project, Physical Activity Session Seminar Session about nutrition Poster Presentations Project evaluation session The plan was shared with course coordinator Dr. Thushanthi to get the approval and comments. For the project, we require two resource people—one for the physical activity session and the other for the seminar session. For the seminar session and the physical activity session, we made the decision to get in touch with our faculty academic staff members.

  In this week we consider the schools near to the university premises. We found a personal contact to one school through one of our undergraduate. We contacted Principal from Daraluwa Secondary School, Pannala. Our group leader Shanuka Dilshan talked with the Principal of the school. Principal madam gave us permission to conduct the school program.

There was a first progress meeting. Dr. Thushanthi provided us with feedback and remarks on the project. We had a general notion of the program before the meeting. No one in our organization has ever participated in outreach projects of this nature. Following the conference, we gained a general understanding of how the project must be carried out. We came to the conclusion that the project needed a precise, well-developed plan to succeed.

  We discussed in the and decide how to create our progress group meeting presentation.

  On February 28th to March 6th, 2022 As we discussed in the WhatsApp group, we prepared a logo and proposed a tagline for further development of the program. Also, during this week we conducted a zoom meeting to plan the activities that we are going to conduct on that day such as Games, Seminars, etc.

    On February 21st to 27th, 2022 In this week we decided to first brainstorm the ideas about the health and wellness day. All the team members googled and searched for ideas about the project then we shared them in our WhatsApp group. Also, we decided to create names for promoting the day and shared all the different names in the group. On the 22nd of February, we held our first zoom meeting to discuss the project. We decided on the targeted community and what type of program will be more effective. In the meeting, we discussed the SWOT analysis component according to the project decided. Since the meeting was only for 40 minutes time limit we decided to put our extra ideas about SWOT analysis in the group.
