I believe that education should be free and accessible to everyone! Great to see many initiatives by the SEF community - especially their efforts to encourage the young generation in Sri Lanka to achieve not only in the domestic settings but also in the international level. I wish SEF all the best, keep up the good work!

SEF professionally organized a lecture I held about Advancements in DNA Sequencing, Bioinformatics and Cancer research. I was more than satisfied and amazed, especially about their strong efforts, devotion and philosophy of providing free education to the wide range of population. Hope the idea will be spread world wide.
