More than 300 children, teachers and parents will witness today the opening of a new building at Balapitiya Siddartha Primary School in Galle.

The Programme aims to rebuild 35 schools destroyed or badly damaged by the tsunami, benefiting more than 20,000 children and teachers. UNICEF supports the programme in cooperation with the Education Ministry while United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) managed the construction.
Three hundred children at the Balapitiya Siddhartha Primary School are now able to learn and enjoy themselves in 14 new classrooms, a play room and an activity room.
New water and sanitation facilities have been provided along with a canteen, administration block and assembly hall.
These facilities were designed to create a child-friendly learning environment where interactive teaching and child participation help children fully develop their potentials. This child-friendly approach is applied to all school reconstructions under this UNICEF supported reconstruction programme.
