MR/ Dampella Kanitu Vidyalaya has launched a community enrollment campaign for the 2026 school year, inviting families in Dampella and surrounding areas to register children entering Grade 1 as well as students in Grades 2 through 5. The school shared the campaign through social media and placed banners at locations throughout Dampella town and nearby communities.
The promotional materials highlight a wide range of facilities and programs now available to students—each one made possible through financial sponsorship from the Weedagama Foundation.

Banners across Dampella
Alongside social media posts, the school hung printed copies of the banner at high-traffic spots around Dampella town and the surrounding area so families walking or driving through could read the full list of programs before enrollment day.
Foundation support
Every item listed on the school’s enrollment banner—meals, laptops, supplies, after-school programs, clubs, and trips—is underwritten by the Weedagama Foundation. This is the same partnership model we use at our other partner schools: priorities set with school leadership, expenses documented, and support reviewed before funds are released.
We are proud to see Dampella Primary School reach out to families so directly. Social posts and town banners help parents understand what their children can expect when they enroll—quality instruction, daily nutrition, technology in the classroom, and enrichment beyond the standard school day.
