A group of children in the coastal town of Arayampathy in Batticaloa will start the new school year with a new classroom given by Ceylinco Life, a company spokesman said.
He said that Ceylinco Life funded the construction of a building for the aesthetics classroom of Sri Vinayagar Vidyalaya, Thalankudah, Arayampathy. This is the 89th such classroom donated by the Company to a school.
The school has 454 students from Grades One to the GCE Advanced Level and a teaching staff of 32. It had only a single building in good condition when Ceylinco Life came forward to help.
Despite the challenges of inadequate facilities, the school has maintained its quality of education. Children from the nearby towns of Manmunai, Madurapuram, Fathimapuram and Vedarkudiyirippu attend classes in the school. Every classroom built by Ceylinco Life under its corporate social responsibility initiative is monitored and maintained by the Company to ensure it serves many generations of students, the spokesman further said.
