Pictured left is Dinethma Gimhani receiving her certificate from her teacher Thushari.

Dinethma scored top marks in Community Class 73, which wrapped up towards the end of 2024. 

She started studying for the Certificate Course after finishing her O-levels and is now busy with A-levels in arts subjects.

Teachers Thushari and Tharindu are pictured with their class after handing out certificates to Community Class 72. 

Top marks went to Heshan Dulanga (middle back in the white shirt) who is now studying commerce A-levels before hoping to attend university. 

Our latest Kids Class - number 14 - finished over the summer.

Pictured is the whole class with their certificates and centre manager Tharindu at the back.

Top of the class was SH Lithuli Limansa, who also happens to be Tharindu's youngest daughter. 

An aptitude for IT clearly runs in the family!!

It's always good to track the progress of our old teachers and Isangani, the very first teacher at our special needs centre in Debarawewa has now become the principal of her own school: Meegahajandara Maha Vidyala School, located in a rural area midway between Yala and Udawalawa National parks.  

She recently held a special health awareness day for the 900-odd students and their families, capped by a special camp fire ceremony pictured (pictured). She has always stood out for her talent and one of her key aims is to improve her students' life skills.

A new batch of grade four students began our latest kids class this month including Lithuli, youngest daughter of the MCTC's manager, Tharindu.

The class is running every Monday afternoon with Thushari and Tharindu teaching. 

And it was heartening to hear that up to about one-third of the students already had some familiarity with computers through their oldest siblings. When we first launched these classes, the percentage was zero. 

During the second half of 2023, we ran two Kids Classes in parallel with each other. 

Pictured is Nimeshika who was the main teacher for Kids Class 13 alongside some of her students.

This class had 22 grade four students, mainly from Mahasenpura School but also Debarawewa President's Primary College (DPPC).

A special congratulations to Rusiru Sandukirana who scored top marks during the end of class exam at the beginning of 2024.

Congratulations to the 20 students who finished Kids Class 12 and especially to Dehami Amaya who came top of the end of class exam.

Thushari was the main teacher for the class, pictured here with Nimeshika standing behind her.

This class was running during the second half of 2023, teaching Grade 4 students from Mahasenpura School where the MCTC is based.  It finished in January 2024.
