Bridge to Peace Montessori Lunugamvehera,Sri Lanka

Since March 2006, the Bridge to Peace Montessori  has created an opportunity for  quality education for children whose families have been affected by the civil war in Sri Lanka. The location of the School was chosen after careful research into the most impoverished locations within the country.

Lunugamvehera, a farming community, in the southeast of Sri Lanka, is besieged by extremely dry weather most of the year. The low income of families in the region excludes  opportunities for quality education.

  The Peace Curriculum is an essential part of the preschool education provided in the Bridge2Peace Montessori in  Lunugamvehera , This is a subtle approach to the promotion of peace and unity in the mind of the individual  as well as within the community.

Bridge2Peace works to  bring quality education to the  women and children of the poorest in rural communities.

Through teacher training and vocational skill acquisition;the empowerment of the helpless is our main objective.

Inspired by the tragedy of the Tsunami, Volunteers from all over the world over extend themselves to ensure that Bridge2Peace projects are sustainable and have maximum community involvement.

The journey has just begun…join us, together we can make a difference!
