Social Development Initiative Through Religious Cooperation Cooperation Circle (CC) is based out of Batticalova - a city in Sri Lanka that experienced civil war for over three decades. CC members believe building harmony is essential as the community is completely fragmented from years of conflict. This CC is made up of 20 Hindus, Muslims and Christians that have been peacebuilding with Shanti Sena CC for over two years. They have organized youth camps, film festivals, leadership training programs, and offered both career guidance and micro-financing workshops.
