  1. THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF ROUND TABLE • To develop the fellowship of young men through the medium of their business and professional occupations and community service activities. • To encourage active and responsible citizenship by cultivating the highest ideals in business, professional and civic traditions. • To promote the extension of the Association. • To promote and further international understanding, friendship and cooperation.

  2. WHAT IS ROUND TABLE • International association of young men from 18-40 years of age • Who have devoted some of their free time to build new friendships and undertake community service activities. • Over 40 000 members from 65 countries around the world and we form a closely knit network. • Neither a political nor a religious group. • Members commonly addressed to as Tablers (Tr. in short). • In Sri Lanka, Round Table currently consists of: • 55 members • A National association, Round Table Sri Lanka with 4 Tables or clubs. • The 4 Tables are: • Colombo Round Table 1, • Colombo Serendib Round Table 2 • Colombo Taprobane Round Table 3 – who brings you this event today • Colombo Cinnamon Round Table 4

  3. Social Service Projects • Among the most notable contributions by Round table in Sri Lanka is the construction of 3 schools after the Asian Tsunami disaster. • These schools today house over 2,000 students. • Cost $2 million to build, funded mainly by International Tables, • The current National projects: • “Kids Off the Streets”(KOS) - Tablers in Sri Lanka have built several Children’s community centers • “Have U Heard”- an Audiology school. • Previous projects include vocational training centres, Eye care clinics, etc. • For more information visit Round Table Sri Lanka at: www.rtsrilanka.org

  4. THE PHILOSPHY OF KOS • The philosophy behind KOS is to ensure young children have a place to go, where they can get away from the streets and its dangers. • We believe that providing good infrastructure facilities will encourage youngsters off the street.

  5. ACTIVITES AT KOS CENTRES •  Above centers provide children with the facilities to carry out: • Music • Art • Sport Skills • Vocational training for over 14 year olds in the areas of Handy Craft, Hand loom, Mason and tailoring etc. • Apart from the above, these centers will provide informal education which is extremely effective as a form of assistance for their schools.

  6. OUR PARTNER - LOCAL • The day to day management of the facilities are done by the NCPA. • The NCPA depends on organizations such as ours to help develop infrastructure, as their limited funds are used for daily running of these centers.
