Extreme post-war poverty in Vanni, Sri Lanka caused a great suffering in the livelihood of the people,
which can especially be seen in the current quality of education and communication. School children
faced a great set-back in developing their linguistic skills. Blossom Trust teamed up with a local
charity to run a six-month English Language Program in several villages in Vanni District for children
aged between 8 and 11 years. A monthly workshop for children was also held in topics including
Dialogue, composing poems, playing dramas and narration of stories
