The AKIN School of English has been running since November 2008. This project is long term and gives the children the opportunity of improving their English by weekly classes. Due to unforeseen circumstance AKIN charity has recently learnt that the house is up for sale and they have the option to buy it. The house is located close to Galle-Colombo main road (walking distance) and would be easier for other villages to attend.
