Hemas opens Piyawara pre-school

Hemas Holdings opened its 35th pre-school in the resettled village of Silawathei, Mullaitivu town. This is the second such community pre-school, the first one being at Ambalnagar. It operates 35 pre-schools islandwide by providing education to over 3,000 children daily.

Executive Director of Hemas Outreach Foundation, Shiromi Masakorala said, "Piyawara has at all times, given us a deep sense of fulfillment. Seeing the smiles on the faces of these little children, be they from the North, South, East or West, inspires us to continue this project with greater determination."

"We also thank the troops of the 59th Division of the Sri Lanka Army for having facilitated this school in the village of Silawathei for the benefit of the little children. The local community too is appreciative of this initiative and has a lot of praise for the Sri Lanka Army," she said.
