The MJF Kids held their Vesak lantern competition for the 4^th year in succession at their Kids home in Peliyagoda on 22^nd May.  Vesak is a Buddhist religious event celebrated in Sri Lanka in the month of May every year. The significance of Vesak is the birth, enlightenment and the demise of Lord Buddha.

All 8 groups within the MKF Kids produced colouful lanterns under theme of birds and animals associated with the life of Buddha. The panel of judges comprising of Vajira from QA, Nissala from HR and Shanthi from MJFCF from within the MJF group indeed had a hard task in selecting the best 4 as all groups produced some creative lanterns.

It was a great effort by the Kids amidst a week long heavy rains and floods experienced in most part of the country. However on the day of the event, there was no rains at all and the kids representing all religious faiths  were really overjoyed and thanked god for acceding to their week long prayers in giving them a rain free day to display their creative lanterns.

Team “Rose” emerged winners followed by Nelum and Manel Teams.

Dilhan and Serena along with the panel of judges distributed the prizes to the winners.
