The Youth Leadership, Public Speaking and English Education program conducted by motivational speaker and trainer Farill Farook was successfully concluded with its awards ceremony on 17 January at the American Center, Colombo.

The ceremony was graced by James L. Russo, Director, Press, Academic, and Cultural Affairs, of the US Embassy in Sri Lanka, who was the Special Invitee, and together with Farook, handed out the certificates to over 75 participants.

The program was conducted at the American Center over a period of six weeks, and received a very positive response, with attendees coming from various parts of Sri Lanka, including Jaffna, Batticaloa, Galle, Pannala, Kandy and Ratnapura, and from diverse audiences such as students, professionals and those from the corporate world. The program content included several model speeches based on travel, success, goal setting, motivation, and also musical interludes which made it both entertaining and educational.
