The lack of English speaking skills was greatly felt by the village children of Bentota. Avani Bentota Hotel stepped in and inaugurated ‘Spoken English Classes’ at Udakotuwa Temple, Bentota. The classes were conducted by Mr. Mohammed Farook, an experienced English teacher under the auspices of the Chief Incumbent of Udakotuwa Raja Maha Viharaya, Shraspathi Rev Bentota Jinanada Thero. About 15 students and 10 young priests enrolled for these classes, which have been highly lauded by all the parents and elders of the area. This initiative by the Hotel is commendable, considering the government recommendation to enhance English speaking skills amongst the youth.
