Colombo (News1st): The fourth stage of the Gammadda V-Force got underway in Kegalle this morning (January 19). Members of the V-Force team visited the Dedigama Kinivita Primary school in Kegalle. Located 15 kilometres away from the Warakapola town, the students of the Dedigama Kinivita Primary school engage in their educational activities, in dilapidated buildings. Under the V-Force initiative today, these buildings were renovated and painted, fulfilling a long-awaited wish of the students and teachers. The event was joined by several officials including the Chief Executive Officer of the Capital Maharaja Organization Limited Mohan Barara, Group Director Chevaan Daniel, and the General Manager of News1st Yasarath Kamalsiri. Speaking at the initiative CEO of TCMOL Mohan Barara noted that it is great to see hundreds of young people coming together to help.
