This picture belongs to Punniyaselvan, a first person from Glasow, Nanu Oya, to graduate from University of Colombo.
This is a huge win for everyone in that village and for free education in Sri Lanka as a whole. I don’t want to say more, but this picture tells the whole story of this young man and the people who cared about him and the way he never forgot them.

Everyone should be able to get an education, and it should be free for everyone. I stand up for free education and fight for it with all my heart. Everyone here in Sri Lanka gets a free education all the way to university, thanks to Honourable C.W.W. Kannangara, who was the father of free education in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is a great country with kind people and a lot of history. Yes, we are going through a very hard time, but stories like Punniyaselvan give us hope, courage, and the power we need to fight hard.
Congratulations, young man! You really are a gem of Sri Lanka. 💐💐💐
