One of OSI's greatest challenges, our Wattegama program has
also created drastic improvement in the present lives and future
prospects of many deserving children
Transitional/Independent Living
- For our older children who have qualified for A/L studies, OSI has provided for
their transition out of the Wattegama orphanage and into private boarding, A/L
school enrollment, and tutoring. For non-A/L prospects, OSI is
providing private boarding and vocational training, and respectable job
prospects that will allow them some control over their destinies.
For all of our young people in our transitional program, OSI is
providing counseling, budgeting, and independent living guidance all
along the way.

numerous major projects to drastically improve the facilities and
environment of the orphanage, which will serve present and future
children for many years to come.

Education
- Initially finding that the brightness of these children was not
reflected in their academic performance, our educational efforts resulted in a record number of children passing their "Ordinary Level"
(11th grade) exams
and proceeding to "Advanced Level" studies.
