The 82nd OrphanCare Student Interview
We met a former student of the Sri Jinananda Child Development Centre, Colombo 06.
Despite the hardships he faced, he showed remarkable resilience. He has completed a Diploma in Hairdressing at the Ramani Fernando Institute and currently works as a hair stylist at Salon. He also runs an online clothing business.
His ambition is to become the owner of his own salon and to grow his online clothing business. He recently came up with the idea of starting a mobile freelance salon service, but he faced financial difficulties in purchasing the required equipment.
At that time, OrphanCare contacted student to inform him that funds from Amana Bank through the OrphanCare program had been allocated to him.
He plans to use the OC funds to purchase salon equipment- trimmers, brushes, shavers, and scissors and to invest in developing his online clothing business.
