Students of Meepagama Jayanthi Maha Vidyalaya Visit Colombo

The 8th of February 2006 was indeed an exciting day for the students of Meepagama Jayanthi Maha Vidyalaya., when they got an opportunity to visit Colombo and experience the amazing Chinese Acrobatic Circus and the hi-tech games and amusements available at the Excel World in Colombo.

This was a reward for the students who have excelled in their academic activities and extra curricular activities in the year 2005. 65 of the students, accompanied by their teachers, were brought down to Colombo and were treated to the magnificent Chinese Acrobatic Circus at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium. It was indeed an afternoon to remember, the joy and the excitement on the faces of the children was evidence that the efforts of SriLankan Cares have been fruitful.

The evening was spent at the Excel World with children enjoying an adventurous two hours at the gaming parlour and the 4D simulation theatre - the only one of its kind in Sri Lanka. This was a novel experience to the children who would rarely get an opportunity to experience modern technology as a playmate. The children were also treated to refreshments courtesy of SriLankan Cares. The evening ended with a visit to the Galle Face Green.
