About ASSOCIATION FOR EDUCATION & WELLBEING Inc

AEW, a modest charitable organization based in Australia and Sri Lanka, is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of disadvantaged children and educational institutions.


Our efforts encompass school infrastructure development projects and support initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for underprivileged children in rural areas.


Established as a registered charity in both Australia and Sri Lanka in 2018, AEW has consistently organized fundraising events to channel resources into school infrastructure development. Operated entirely by volunteers, with no paid staff, the organization ensures that over 95% of donations directly contribute to our projects.


The majority of our funds are generated through public events like stage dramas, gala dinners, and the generosity of donors in Australia and Sri Lanka.


As we persist in extending assistance to underprivileged children in rural areas within our reach, we invite your generosity to further our mission.


Our story

  

At an annual trip of University of Peradeniya (Sri Lanka) alumni in Melbourne, some of us produced a drama based on a lesser known historical event of the Portuguese period in Sri Lanka. Those who were involved were enthusiastic and the performance was well received by the limited audience. This encouraged the group to develop the drama further and present it to a wider audience in Melbourne. Dr Sunil Ratnayake, who wrote the script and directed it, all the cast and crew were united in the view that any profit from the project should be used to fund a worthy cause. Education, not only in the academic sense, but more broadly, to promote cultural awareness, health and wellbeing, emerged as the cause. The association of education and wellbeing was born, registered as a not for profit in Victoria and with a sister organization of the same name in Sri Lanka, so that fund raising, and execution of projects could be done in an accountable and transparent manner.

 The first performance of “Parangi Satana” stage drama took place in February 2018, that 100% of the funds raised reach the target of the Habaraththawala school project.

The Unsung Hero

None of this would have been possible without a highly competent and reliable representative on the ground, in Sri Lanka. That is Mr Ravi Theaver. He is an alumnus of the University of Peradeniya, Sri  Lanka who is a very competent  engineer and deeply committed to making contribution to the wider community. He has many years of experience in Civil Engineering projects in Sri Lanka through his career in the National Water Supply and Drainage Board and later with an International Consulting firm engaged in projects around the South-East Asian region.


Ravi Theaver has been an untiring force in our work. His familiarity with local regulations and procedures was invaluable in working through the various bureaucratic requirements. His experience of development projects and the need for good consultations and stakeholder management helped us both identify the project and then secure the enthusiastic commitment of Habaraththawala school, the parents and the authorities at north central province. He then applied his engineering expertise to develop the designs to be both cost effective and versatile and to manage a staged construction process with a high degree of efficiency.
