Galle District, Sri Lanka - June 19, 2024 – The Voice of the Plantation People Organization (VOPP) successfully conducted its 8th workshop on the Importance of Democracy at Dadalla Al Mubarak Vidyalaya School. The workshop, facilitated by Mr. Weerasingam, saw the active participation of 43 students, with school teachers and the principal also attending as observers.
Mr. Weerasingam led the workshop, providing a thorough exploration of
democratic principles and their significance in contemporary society. Through
engaging discussions and interactive activities, students were able to identify
and analyze key democratic issues, enhancing their understanding and
appreciation of democratic values.
As part of their ongoing commitment to student support, VOPP, with the
generous backing of the US Embassy, provided school bags to all participating
students. This initiative underscores VOPP's dedication not only to educational
enrichment but also to addressing practical needs that support students'
overall well-being.
The involvement of school teachers and the principal as observers added
an extra layer of insight and validation to the workshop, fostering a
collaborative environment that bridged the gap between educators and students.
