“I am the youngest girl in a family of 5. My mother contracted German measles when she was expecting me, which made me visually impaired. Since my parents were teachers who knew that the otherwise able children too have a right to education, and that there were ways and means for them to learn, they admitted me to the School for the Blind, Ratmalana as a student in mid 60′s. It is a coincidence that where I started my primary education, became the place where I serve at present as a teacher.

Sponsor a Child Programme

We wish to appoint a sponsor for each student in all three schools. Since we do not charge any fees from any of our students, the sponsors will be contributing for the education, vocational training, hostel facilities and welfare of the children in our care.
