Training Clothes Donation
Brighter Path provides regular support to the Vishaka Training Centre in Bandarawella. This is a home for young girls in the care system who have been unable to remain in mainstream education. They are taught sewing and dressmaking skills which give the girls the chance to find skilled employment. We were asked whether we would sponsor the girls’ uniform and were pleased to be able to provide a set of three polo shirts for each of the 40 students. These are young people with few possessions and this girls’ home does not have the resources to clothe its students adequately during their training program. We are pleased to continue our work with Vishaka and follow the progress of the young girls.
