The Ant and the Termite

It is my pleasure to write this message for our dear student Madisa Withanawasam.

It is said, "if there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." - Toni Morrison.

Madisa has been doing exactly that. 'The Ant and the termite', the second book of our young author Madisa gives us a timely message that all of us in this nation should embrace - it is our choices that truly show who we are, far more than our abilities. Madisa's decision to use his writing skills to make this world a better place is a great example to everyone around him. We are very proud of Madisa and wish him the very best. We give our blessings to him to be an award-winning author of his generation, impacting lives and transforming society with his skills.

Don't forget - "no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell." - Charles de Lint
