A Christmas event via Zoom technology was hosted for Sri Lankan and Jordanian children recently by the Sri Lanka Embassy in Jordan at the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation Library in Amman.
The Power of Play Theatre Group in Sri Lanka connected in real time with the children to bring festive cheer through a medley of well-known Christmas songs which were sung in Sinhala, Tamil and English.
A dynamic puppetry event based on the book “Find your Bell” written by a Sri Lankan author Kumudu de Silva was enacted virtually with children being able to express themselves through song, dance and artwork in an enjoyable interactive performance conducted by Founder and Artistic Director of Power of Play (Pvt) Ltd, Sulochana Dissanayake.
The event was attended via ZOOM by over 40 children with some of the children physically present at the Shoman Foundation Knowledge Path Library in keeping with health protocols.
The Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation was instrumental in providing the ZOOM virtual platform and technical assistance free to make the event a success.
