Two lecturers attached to the National Child Protection Authority and National Dangerous Drugs Control Board delivered two valuable lectures relating to the above mentioned topics and exhorted the children about the value of their parents' love and commitment in bringing them up amidst many difficulties and sacrifices

During the lectures and the discussions, the song "Duwe Numba Mage Praanayai" along with an explicit visual, screened at the background, was very emotional and brought tears to the children's eyes.
