Great piece on @srilanka schools reopening. We are so lucky to have such amazingly inspirational and committed teachers and students. Here’s hoping all schools are able to open safely soon.
Watch tonight - 5:40pm on Hiru TV, 7:00pm on Siyatha TV and Thinetha TV, 7:30pm on Rupavahini, Independent Television Network (ITN) and Swarnavahini. And will be hosted on UNICEF’s FB page at 7.00pm facebook.com/unicefsrilanka
Hope you and your children can tune in!
UNICEF SL has collaborated with the PM’s office to provide an opportunity for children and adolescents to voice their questions (via video message) about the current pandemic situation to the Prime Minister and have these questions answered.
