Visit to the Vishaka Training Centre
Following the establishment of a partnership between Brighter Path and the sewing school of the Vishaka Training Centre in Bandarawella it was good to return to see how the girls were getting on. The Training Centre is a home for young girls in the care system who have been unable to remain in mainstream education. They are taught how to sew and make clothes, giving them essential skills which they are able to use to obtain employment. We were met by Commissioner Nadeesha Chathurangani of the Uva Province probation department who has overall responsibility for the Training Centre and its resident. The girls showcased their work and gave a demonstration of newly acquired skills on the sewing machines. We brought with us more supplies for the sewing school. We were delighted with our visit and pleased to see the positive impact that our support is making.
