Awakening Curiosity — A Journey Through Young Minds
On the 7th of August, the Research Club of Visakha Vidyalaya conducted a meaningful and heartwarming workshop for our Primary Section. This special session was designed to ignite imagination and nurture the spirit of inquiry in our youngest Visakhians.
With crayons in hand and wonder in their eyes, our little ones translated their thoughts into vibrant drawings—each one a window into their rich, imaginative inner world. As they introduced their creations, it became clear: behind every sketch was a story, a question, a dream.
More than just an art activity, this experience helped them connect with their inner curiosity and begin to think like true young researchers. They learned that research is not just about facts—it’s about asking, imagining, and exploring with an open heart.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible individuals who helped to bring this unique programme to reality:
- Prof. Ruwanthi Perera – Department of Peadiatrics, University of Sri Jayewardenepura and Consultant Paediatrician
- Dr. Gayana Gunaratna – Senior Lecturer and the Head of the Department of Microbiology at the Faculty of Medicine, Ragama and Consultant Microbiologist
- Dr. Nethra Alahakone – Research Assistant of the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Ragama
- Dr. A.M.L. Dilrukshi – A postgraduate student from the Faculty of Medicine, Ragama
- Demonstrators of the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Meidicine, Ragama – Dr. Sandani Rodrigo and Dr. Dinishi Kaushika Eumini
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the research club for creating such a nurturing and inspiring space. It was a beautiful step in helping our children grow—not just as learners, but as thinkers, dreamers, and explorers of the world around them.
