The little children of the village of Theethakarei, 10 kilometres off Mullaitivu, recently moved out of their temporary shelter to the well-equipped Hemas Piyawara Community Pre-School. Joining them on their big day to share their happiness were Tissa Karaliyadda, Minister of Child Development and Women’s Affairs and Member of Parliament Namal Rajapaksa.

Theethakarei is a fishing village in the Mullativu district with over 211 families. This 36th Piyawara school was constructed by the Hemas Outreach Foundation in conjunction with the troops of the 59 Division of the Sri Lanka Army.
