By the end of year 2003, Lak Daruwo has been conducting its educational programs for
almost an year in Embilipitiya center. Due to the extreme level of difficulties faced
by the people in this area, Lak Daruwo team had to work very hard to help the children
in this center. The challenges this center bought us were different from what we
experienced at our Attanagalla center. However, the team at Embilipitiya center
including Nagitha thero, has dedicated so much for the program. We see very admirable
progress at this center, considering the difficulties both the children and the management
experience there.
Today the children of this center have formed a team called "Lak Daruwo Society"
and participate in many educational and social activities. These activities promote
team work and leadership qualities in these children. This kind of undivided team
spirit seems essential for building a strong society for our country.
In December 2003, this center hosted its first Lak Daruwo Year End Presentations
Event. Children, their parents, Lak Daruwo team, several invitees from the area,
and journalists participated in this event. All the students from Lak Daruwo Meegammana
Center also took part in this event. The program was a great success, and we observed
a great deal of improvement in the children. Every student participated in at least
one performance and the whole event was conducted through English. Senior and middle
groups made presentations based on small research projects they had conducted.
