Duleeka Dilhani was a past student at Horizon Lanka. She studied computers and English and showed some remarkable achievements in the two fields. In addition, she was the most talented sportswoman at Horizon Lanka in many a sport.
After Advanced Level, Duleeka joined the local branch of the Bank of Ceylon in the village as an intern. Horizon Lanka is proud to produce confident young men and women after 11 years of its services to the community. Had Horizon Lanka not been in existence in the rural village of Mahavilachchiya, most of these youth would have ended up either unemployed or underemployed. Before Horizon Lanka, the boys' only option was to join the armed forces and for girls, the only opening was working as a machine operator in a garment factory. But now Horizon Lanka shapes up the lives of youth by giving a quality ICT and English education to the children in the village and enables them to be young men and women with a marketable skills in the extremely competitive job market.
The students of Horizon Lanka and the villagers of Mahavilachchiya thanks GlobalGiving and donors who donate to Horizon Lanka through GG for their support in producing confident youth from Mahavilachchiya.
