A video circulating on social media yesterday captured a child arriving at school without having eaten, on World Children’s Day.
In response to this, Mr. Sajith Premadasa shared a message on his Facebook page, stating:
“On this Children’s Day, let us remember that proper nutrition is essential for the physical and mental development of our children. With over 7 million Sri Lankans living below the poverty line, it is crucial to prioritize the school lunch program for children across all grades. No child should have to go hungry in order to learn.”
