Elpitiya, Sri Lanka — April 5, 2024
Fostering Understanding: The Role of Democracy
The workshop, led by the seasoned facilitator Mr. Weerasingham, aimed to ignite a spark of awareness among the young minds. Here are the key highlights:
- Facilitator
Extraordinaire: Mr. Weerasingham skillfully guided the program,
ensuring that the students not only understood the mechanics of democracy
but also grasped its profound importance. His passion for civic education
resonated with the participants.
- Students’
Engagement: The students actively engaged in discussions, sharing
their experiences and concerns. Their voices echoed through the hall as
they expressed their frustration. The school’s history revealed a stark
reality: no teachers for History, Maths, or Science. Even
today, these crucial subjects remain teacherless.
- A
Cry for Representation: The absence of subject-specific educators has
left these young learners feeling neglected. Their aspirations are stifled
by the lack of guidance. They yearn for knowledgeable mentors who can
unlock the doors of knowledge.
- Past
Pass Exam Papers: Responding to the school principal’s request, the
VOPP stepped in. We provided past exam papers to empower
these students. Armed with knowledge, they can navigate the challenging
educational landscape and strive for excellence.
A Call to Action
As the sun dipped below the horizon, leaving streaks of
orange and pink over Elpitiya, the students departed with renewed
determination. The seeds of democracy had been sown, and their voices would
echo far beyond the school walls.
Let us nurture these young minds, for they hold the
promise of a brighter, more informed future.
