The sound of the Koha, the patter of little bunny feet, the beat of the Rabana ; all herald the onset of some of the best loved festivities and celebrations in Sri Lanka – we’re talking of Avurudhu and Easter of course! And what better way to celebrate than at Paw-sperity, yet another shopper’s extravaganza which will take place on 29 March at the Atrium Lobby of the Cinnamon Grand, with over 50 stalls that will cater to everyone’s Avurudhu and Easter shopping requirements.

Paw-sperity which is being held in aid of Rescue Animals Sri Lanka (RAS), in partnership with the Cinnamon Grand, Wijeya Newspapers and Zelus Consult, has all the trappings of making it the bazaar of the season.

With something for everyone, and goods ranging from clothing for the entire family, bed and table linen, footwear, dolls and kids games, cosmetics, both Batik as well as regular saris, jewellery, skin care, dreamy nightwear, handmade designer handbags, accessories, homemade wines, chutneys and pickles, organic foods, table and bed linen, cushions, arts and crafts, stationery and greeting cards, crochet and knitted products, scented candles, perfumes, health and gluten free foods, vegan foods, bath and body care, a range of specialty Avurudhu Rasa Kavili and Easter goodies from the Cinnamon Grand, macramé, household items, and much more , Paw-sperity has just about everything you need to get you into the celebratory spirit.

RAS Co-founder Anusha David, who has been an animal welfare activist since the age of eight, following in her father’s footsteps, laments the fact that to date the Animal Welfare Bill has not been passed in Sri Lanka. “Soon it will be three decades since we have been trying to get this through. The humane treatment of animals and their acceptance by society and the acknowledgement of their rightful place in our world and our need to coexist is a huge void in Sri Lanka’s DNA,” David added.
