Giving due consideration for the thoughts of children of SLAF families in connection with the World Children’s Day celebration 2022, the “GUWAN RANDARU SITHTHAM” Art Competition - 2022 was organized by the SLAF Seva Vanitha Unit under the guidance of Chairperson SLAF Seva Vanitha Unit, Mrs. Charmini Pathirana.

The Commander of the Air Force, Air Marshal Sudarshana Pathirana, awarded prizes and certificates to the winners during the SLAF’s "World Children’s Day" celebration at SLAF Base Rathmalana. A certificate was awarded to each contestant who participated in the competition in addition to the winners to recognize their valuable participation.
