Heartfelt Gratitude to the Chemical Society, University of Colombo | SAHAS 2026

On behalf of the Advanced Level students of Ananda College, Chilaw, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the seniors of the Chemical Society, Faculty of Science, University of Colombo, for organizing and executing the SAHAS 2026 two-day project at our school.

The first day gave us invaluable hands-on experience with 10 essential A/L chemistry practicals, making complex concepts incredibly easy to understand. Furthermore, the career guidance sessions conducted on the second day by the esteemed UOC lecturers have given us immense clarity and confidence to face our upcoming examinations and plan our future career paths.

We truly appreciate the time, effort, and dedication you invested in empowering us and elevating our chemistry education. Your commitment has truly lived up to the project's motto—lighting the path for tomorrow’s scientists.

We wish all the brothers and sisters of the UOC Chemical Society the very best in your academic endeavors and future careers!

Thank you very much!
