Resources Engineering under the guidance of the senior lecturers of the department. The funds for the
project is planned to be gathered from the academic staff, the ERE alumni along with other

INTRODUCTION
“ගරෙදට අරණැලක” is a brand new venture undertaken by the students of the Earth Resources
Engineering of University of Moratuwa with the hopes of elevating the standard of the educational
environment in the Thanjenthenna Vidyalaya, a school that belongs to the Balangoda divisional
secretariat area in the Rathnapura district. It is expected to be held in year 2014 as its very first
session.
The Department of Earth Resources Engineering has a direct link to the Thanjanthenna Vidyalaya
since it kindly extends its fullest support in providing accommodation to all the participants of the
level four Geology field trip that is normally conducted in the Balangoda area every other year. As the
field camp duration naturally extends over a few days their support more or less helps to make this
field camp a success since it is difficult and inconvenient to travel from the university to Balangoda
each day.
The project “ගරෙදට අරණැලක 2014” was conceived by the ERES society as a measure of
showing the due gratitude to this school. Moreover, this relationship with the Thanjanthenna
Vidyalaya will continue for many years to come, and such an act of tribute will help to strengthen it.
Though they do not expect anything in return it is hard to stay blind eye to the hardships and
difficulties the students of this school undergo just as much as any other underprivileged school in Sri
Lanka.
At the successful completion of the project, the Society of the Department of Earth Resources
Engineering are expecting to provide the Thanjanthenna Vidyalaya with a mini-laboratory, sports
items, and a donation of books to the school library. Further, an awareness and motivational program
is expected to be conducted to the students and their parents about the significance of education in the
present world. The project “ගරෙදට අරණැලක 2014” will help these students to set a clear set
of goals as to where they should head once they step out of the school, while providing them the
necessary physical resources to build themselves a strong educational background to achieve those
goals.

ගරෙදට අරණැලක 2014: THE NECESSITY
From the past acquaintances the Department of Earth Resources has had with the Thanjanthenna
Vidyaalaya, it is an established fact that it can be considered as an underprivileged school. Though
there are schools facing more hardships in the district when compared to this, it is evident that the
situation of the school is in a very bad condition today. Being the only school in the said area it is
really important to the people in the village. The school harbors students of three ethnic groups,
Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims.
The Thanjanthenna Vidyalaya has classes up to 11th grade, to ordinary level. This part of Balangoda
area is quite rural and the poverty resides in most families which struggle to make the two ends meet.
The younger generation strongly lacks the needful persuasion from their parents to educate them
while the children lack the enthusiasm or motivation to move into secondary or tertiary education.
The school dropout numbers seem to have become tenfold in the past few years. The total students
count which totaled to about 500 in a few years back, has now reached down to 175 unfortunately
enough. At this rate there is no doubt that this school would go into extinction in a few years time.
This demise however is not solely the villagers’ fault and it has not resulted entirely due to their lack
of interest in education. The school itself is not with enough facilities or resources to retain the
enthusiasm of the students. Not only does it have a serious lacking of good teachers, it also lacks
facilities essential to ordinary level classes, for example a mini laboratory. What they have is only a
couple of broken instruments and apparatuses, no chemicals except for a few very old chemical
bottles which do not react with anything at all and a set of broken glassware.
Moreover, there are students who are good at sports and have even competed up to provincial level
competitions. However, the lack of necessary facilities has prevented them from proceeding further
than that, though they are skilled enough to reach the national level. The school library also is not in a
good condition.
After O/Ls the students qualified for advanced level education have to enter another school in the
nearest town, Balangoda, which is 23 km away from this village. While the majority of this village is
too poverty stricken enough to send their students to high school after their O/Ls, most do not get
enough qualifications to do so in the first place. Even if some students pass, they do not command
enough results to enter a well reputed school.
As a result of all these the current situation of the Thanjanthenna Vidyalaya has become really sad. In
order to put this school on the right track, a strong motivation is essential. The physical resources also
are needed in order to provide them a fair share of an educational environment to learn freely and
without difficulties.

speech by an undergraduate who will share his thoughts and experiences as a student and then as a
