The first installment of the grant, Rs 3000/= was deposited in the Bank of Ceylon Chunnakam Branch on Friday (17) in the beneficiary’s favour in the presence of his parents and the donors.
A team of fellow-teachers, headed by the Principal at Thalakolawewa Maha Vidyalaya who attended the occasion presented a stock of school accessories and stationeries to the beneficiary on the same occasion and extended their warm wishes for the student’s future.
