The SLAF Seva Vanitha Unit, in collaboration with the SLAF Combat Training School Diyatalawa, officially handed over a newly constructed school building to Labugashtalawa College yesterday (18 June 2024).

The completed school building was officially opened and handed over to the students by Mrs. Enoka Rajapaksa.
Inline with Poson Poya and under the guidance of the Chairperson, Mrs. Enoka Rajapaksa 80 dry ration packs (each containing 14 items) were distributed to the families of the students, who are experiencing financial hardships. Additionally, lunch was provided for all the schoolchildren.
