Gemunu Watch (GW) troops at Kuruwita GW Regimental Headquarters using their own Regimental funds fulfilled a long-felt need at Ratnapura / Kalawana Model Primary School by way of fully renovating its main building after more than 50 years of its construction.
In response to a request made to the Commander of the Army by a group of concerned parents, the Commander of the Army, Lieutenant General Crisanthe De Silva instructed Major General Upul Vithanage, Colonel of the Regiment, GW to provide assistance and attend to the matter as early as possible.

Amid chanting of Seth Pirith by members of the Maha Sangha, headed by Ven.
