WERK (Women Entrepreneurs Resource Kit) celebrated its official launch on 15 February at Hatch, Colombo. The well-attended launch event brought together over 100 invitees, all interested in the new platform's mission of unlocking the combined power of female entrepreneurs and corporate women in Sri Lanka, with the larger goal of creating massive economic and social progress.
In addition to a series of engaging networking sessions and demonstrations, co-founder Yusra Aziz-Eliyas introduced the one-of-a-kind online community, and encouraged companies to join its pool of corporate affiliations that already provide resources for its members in the form of educational workshops, networking events, mentoring programs, volunteer and employment opportunities, career services and support, and much more.

I still remember the day of August 1947 floods, as it was the last school day at Kingswood College Kandy and the height the water soured. Water rose to the height of the Cross of the Chrurch at Getambe and the water was so high that it engulfed the Getambe Rajaponawarma Temple leaving only a few leaves of the Bo-tree visible.
The Colombo Additional Magistrate has ordered the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to investigate and submit a report over a complaint about the alleged illegal assets gained by model Piumi Hansamali.
Heritage properties are major tourist attractions world over. Sri Lanka is no exception in this matter. From Colombo, Galle, most of the mountain cities including Nuwara Eliya, Bandarawela, Hatton and Kandy and in the North, hundreds of heritage properties are spread across.
