The chairman and Secretary were so delighted to be invited to the Engagement party of the daughter of the teacher in our school in Ihalagalagama and her husband-to-be from Colombo. The party was held in the home of the teacher who we have known since our school was built 10 years ago.

It was a very happy occasion attended by members of the close families of the bride and groom-to-be. It also involved Almsgiving and religious blessings on the couple conducted by the Chief Priest and other monks of the local Temple. Following the formalities, a wonderful lunch was served in the home, prepared and served by relatives of the bride-to-be.
