Language Training
At the Foundation of Goodness, we are committed to uplifting the standards of English in rural communities by providing access to English Classes taught by experienced teachers.
English is the international business language and many employers within Sri Lanka report that they suffer because of an inadequate supply of potential workers within the country because the standard of English is not good enough. Without English, individuals are seriously disadvantaged in the job market and excluded from many career opportunities.
The ability to communicate with each other is essential towards establishing unity, harmony and understanding between Sri Lankan communities and strengthening friendships instead of harbouring suspicion and mistrust caused by decades of civil conflict.
The Foundation of Goodness offers link language programmes at the OYOB Centre of Excellence, our flagship model in Seenigama as well as all Village Heartbeat Empowerment Centres. Tamil Language classes are offered in predominantly Sinhala speaking regions while Sinhala Classes take place at the Centres situated in Tamil speaking regions.
