Cover: Win with windy

D.M. Priyanwada Godage's, Wind with Windy won second place in the English Open category at the State Children's Drama Festival held recently. What is admirable about this is the children who participated in the drama were from the Embilipitiya Children's Home where they have very little exposure to English. These children however pursued their endeavour and came out right on top. .They carried away six awards in various other categories as well. They were trained by Kumudini Gunasekera, Gayesha Wimalaratna, Priyanwada Godage, Chamara Bawantha, Pasindu Gamini and Yamuna Kumari. The matron of the Home, Sriya Gamage (third from left) was elated that the children beat better known schools that had an exposure to English.
