Translation Circle Hosts Successful First-Ever Ice Cream Dansala for Esala Poya

The Translation Circle of the Department of Linguistics marked a memorable milestone today as it successfully held its first-ever Ice Cream Dansala in celebration of Esala Poya. Organized to foster generosity, kindness, and community spirit, the initiative brought together students, faculty, and staff for a sweet and meaningful celebration.

Dansalas—free food or drink stalls organized during traditional festivals—are a cornerstone of Sri Lankan culture that embody selflessness and shared joy. By bringing this tradition to campus, the Translation Circle created an inclusive space for the university community to pause, connect, and celebrate together. The event saw enthusiastic participation across the department, highlighting the power of cultural tradition in building strong campus ties.

The organizing team extended its heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and supported the initiative, noting that the community’s enthusiasm made this inaugural milestone truly unforgettable. Following this success, the Translation Circle looks forward to hosting similar community-focused events in the future.
