Students and parents actively participated in the programme, which aimed to strengthen students’ mental well-being, build self-confidence, and support their personal development while raising awareness of challenges faced by young people.

Mr. Nawfees, Child Rights Development Officer at the Seruwila Divisional Secretariat, served as the resource person. He provided awareness and guidance on mental well-being, self-confidence, personality development, and the harmful effects of drug abuse.
