“We at Ma’s Foods feel happy and privileged to have participated in the refurbishment of the Home Science Room in Polwattha Sri Rathanasara Central College, Minuwangoda which has over 700 students. We hope the modern facility will give students both male and female the necessary skills and encouragement to embark on a career in the food industry” stated Mr. Mario De Alwis the Managing Director of MA’s Foods.
“In addition to career opportunities, learning basic cooking skills are an essential life lesson for both male and female students. The concept of the Ma’s Kitchen was established to encourage better food choices and improve family happiness and stability through sharing and cooking a meal as a family” Mr. Alwis added.
In order to give the students a hands on experience and a career inspiration a Cookery workshop was organized by MA’s Foods in collaboration with Sri Lankan Airline Catering Service on the opening day.
