The Life Saving Society of Nalanda College saved two teenagers lives while bathing off the Mount Lavinia Beach. Life savers were aware of people who gather around the beach everyday.
On July 22nd the two boys named Ruwan Nishantha Ilangakoon and Buddhika Udaya Maduranga were struggling with insubordinate surfs around 12.45 pm Chanuka responded swiftly and swam towards Ruwan for about 200 meters while asking help from Sameera. Ruwan was saved in-noxiously by Chanuka. Meanwhile Sameera Vithanage; the captain of The Life Saving Society was able to save Buddhika who was dragged away by currents in a sea pocket. The two young men were brought ashore safely by accompnying Chamath Degalle and Kasun Jayanatha. The condition of Ruwan was stable but Buddhika was unconscious.
Sameera did not terminate his responsibility by this. He supplied Buddhika with artificial breathing, betwixt Chanuka helped him with artificial heart beat supply. The Junior Life Savers Pavithra Perera and Madusha Guruge were able to control the people gathered around. Their effort was successful and Buddhika came to his consciousness.
Non of the people gathered standed to take in the patient to the hospital. Sameera immeaditaley took Buddhika to Kalubowila hospital with the help of a parent of a Nalanda College student. Buddhika was entered to ICU at Kalubowila. Later on Ruwan informed that Buddhika was fully recovered.
Gamika and Gihantha proudly said that they could save another life/person on 8th July. The Life Saving Society of Nalanda College has saved 615 lives since its establishment in 1981.
Sameera and his fellow Life Savers gratefully commemorated The Principal; Ranjith Jayasundara, the teacher in-charge; Lasal Jayathunga and coach; Roshan Wijesinghe.
They also appreciated the indelible influence of Parents and Old Boys.
"WISDOM ILLUMINATES CHARACTER", by showing the colours of school motto, the Life Saving Society of Nalanda College showed their generosity on giving life to a life.
