Royal College Red Cross Society has planned to carry out many important projects for the betterment of the community adhering to the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. By conducting these projects, we hope to improve health, safety and quality of life.

The Royal College Red Cross Society annually provides necessary first aid coverage at events organized by the College and the Clubs and Societies of the College. It is one of our objectives to be present at all College events to provide necessary medical attention to the students and other participants at such events.

Due to the current Covid-19 situation, we are planning to conduct the vast majority of our projects online. As there is a lot of people suffering from Chronic Diseases, we have planned to conduct our project “Forza Medica” which includes animation videos about Non-communicable diseases and it will be published on IGTV, Facebook and YouTube. This project will be conducted in the month of March.

We have planned to conduct the Annual First Aid Workshop which is a project done by the Royal College Red Cross Society annually to broaden the knowledge regarding First Aid. It will be conducted in the month of June.

“Chronicles” is a project, which we’ll be talking about the impact stories during the Covid-19 pandemic with the individuals who are at the front line of the Covid- 19 pandemic prevention. It will be conducted in the month of June.

Preliminary Care Unit is a well-trained unit of first aiders and leaders. By forming this unit, it will uphold the safety of the students at Royal College. It will take place in July. As a part of the process of initiating the “Preliminary Care Unit,” we will be organizing a leadership program for the PCU members focused on developing their situational leadership skills and it will be conducted in the month of July.

The Annual Blood Donation Campaign is one of the major events organized by the Royal College Red Cross Society and it has become our tradition since 1979. This massive project is not for the school’s benefit alone, but in aid of the National Blood Bank, and through it for the entire country. We are organizing the 42nd Blood Donation Campaign which will take place in the month of August.

We are planning to continue “Vision,” the Annual Eye Donation Campaign for the 4th consecutive time this year in the month of August. This will be a great opportunity not only for the students but also for any citizen who will be willing to donate their eyes. We are conducting this project to contribute to the development of Health care in the country by contributing to eradicate blindness. We are conducting a project called “Project Orange Elephant,” intending to improve the safety and the quality of life of the rural villagers who are living in human-elephant conflict zones and to provide an environmentally friendly approach to mitigate the human-elephant conflict in Sri Lanka. We have postponed this project because of the prevailing situation in the country. Altogether we are looking forward to completing this year by carrying out these valuable projects in aid of the community and also for the betterment of the College.
