Our sixth pre-school and multipurpose community building in the Matara district was formally opened with a splendid ceremony in the village of Aththudawa on 7th July 2011 with the 2011 student volunteer team who had raised significant funding for this in attendance. Delightfully situated inland from Matara town and surrounded by paddy fields, this building has, for the first time, provided a school for the young and a meeting place for all of the people of Aththudawa.

Trustee Joy Palmer Cooper also visited this new building on 7th July and in the Matara District Centre of Sarvodaya she conducted a ceremony for the signing of Memoranda of Understanding with the Sarvodaya officers of all of the Matara district partnership villages.
