On the occasion of the 73rd anniversary of the Sri Lanka Air Force, commemorated under the theme "Wings of Friendship," an ambitious project has been launched. This initiative aims to revitalize and upgrade the infrastructure of 73 carefully selected schools located across the Northern and Eastern Provinces. In line with this endeavour, SLAF Station Mullaitivu has made essential contributions to the renovation efforts, impacting fourteen (14) deserving schools within the region.
