Those children on arrival in Colombo visited the planetarium, museum, Vihara Mahadevi Park’s Sathutu Uyana, National Child Development Foundation, Independent Television Network, Milco Factory, Colombo Harbour, Bank of Ceylon towers, Zoo and a few more places of tourist attractions.
Children of Sri Jayawardanepura Balika Vidyalaya lent a warm welcome to them on the first day during a special ceremony before they all were gifted with exercise books, instrument boxes, footwear, etc at Angoda National Child Development Foundation when they visited its office for a musical entertainment.
