Some scenes from the Pussellawa Peacemakers Pre-School Year End Concert.

| Together with our neighbours, Rev'd Karunasekara and his wife Jancy, we were guests of honour at the Pussellawa Peacemakers Pre-School Year End Concert. The opening prayers were said by a Buddhist child, a Christian child, a Moslem child and a Hindu child - shown above. | There were about twenty different dances and songs, each with beautiful costumes. There were Singhalese, Tamil and Hindustani dances. There was an "English" dance to a ghastly disco beat and a drama acted out to a song sung in English. The children are taught some English at the pre-school. This picture shows five year-olds dancing with candles. Health and Safety Inspectors look away! |

| Here is a local version of Old Macdonald's Farm with the farmer in his sarong and his wife despairing as their animals running amok around him. | We made speeches and gave the children certificates. The concert started at 10:15 and continued until well past 14:00 when we left for lunch. This concert in the Town Hall provided an excellent opportunity for the pre-school to become better known in the community and for parents to admire their children. The hall was packed to overflowing with more than 300 people. |
