All the children gathered at Selalihinigama ‘Piyawara’ pre-school and Bogaswewa Vidyalaya premises separately on the same day to receive those incentives after all arrangements were put in place by 19 (V) Gajaba Regiment troops serving under the SFHQ-W on the directions of Major General Kumudu Perera, Commander, Security Forces, Wanni.

Initiated by the SFHQ-W for the 6th consecutive year, the Hemas Outreach Foundation distributed those gift parcels among the children gathered at both school premises in Vavuniya as smiling children lined up to receive those incentives.
