Swimming Pool & Engineering laboratory/workshop
1)Swimming has become a popular sport as well as an exercise for keeping the body in good shape. In Colombo all big schools are equipped with a swimming pool each but in Kokuvil the only big school don't have. Why can't we(OSA) help them to construct,operate and maintain a swimming pool?.
It will be shame if someone say he/she don't know how to swim,nowadays. In 1950s some learnt swimming in wells at Nanthavil farmland.
2)In 1950s & 60s there was a workshop at Kokuvil Hindu where students below grade 9 learnt handwork like moulding by hand different shapes like parrot,cow etc Although the workshop master was a good carpenter we didn't learn carpentry?. Before that in elementary school we learnt to make(weave) home needs(petti,puttu-neethu petty etc) from palmyrah leaves. Due to advancement of science today schools, should teach engineering skills to students before GCE(OL) so that they can do minor engineering works like using soldering iron,welding,saw,chisel,engineering file,carpentry, electrical wiring fundamentals,radio fundmentals,TV fundamentals etc etc. If school management cannot obtain these from Govt,let them appeal to OSA worldwide as well as rich people of Kokuvil to contribute.
