The event held at the Taj Samudra Crystal Ballroom on the 9th of December 2023, marked a pivotal moment for scholarship recipients and their parents. The event was not just a meeting but a guiding light of inspiration and a call to action.
The event was graced by two eminent speakers: Mr. Vish Govindasamy – Managing Trustee, a distinguished figure known for his insightful perspectives and leadership skills, and Retired Air Chief Marshal Harsha Abeywickrama, a respected and seasoned veteran with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Their presence not only added prestige to the event but also provided valuable insights and inspiration to the attendees.
The discussion shed light on the Trust’s objectives, mission, and the vision that drives its initiatives. Air Chief Marshal Harsha Abeywickrama encouraged the students to concentrate on their education and ignore things that could take away their focus and maximize the opportunity presented to them.
Addressing student expectations is crucial in aligning the trust’s goals with the needs and aspirations of the youth. This part of the event focused on understanding what students seek from their educational journey and how trust can facilitate these aspirations.
Perhaps the most impactful aspect of the discussion was the focus on how education and the trust’s efforts contribute to the broader economic landscape of Sri Lanka. The speakers provided insights into how empowering students with education can lead to economic growth, innovation, and sustainable development.
