Saneeja Shifan’s Story
Hello. I am Saneeja Shifan and I teach English at T/Mu/ Furkaniya Vidyalaya. While I was in my previous school, T/Mu/Jaya Vidyalaya, I found it difficult to teach according to the traditional method for teaching English. I’m truly fortunate however to have found wonderful mentors from PIMD like Donna, Monica, Radhi, Helen and Emma during both virtual and in person training in the Lotus English Program at Trincomalee in 2019.
During that initial training I decided that it was time to make a revolution at my school. So we started Lotus that same year. We worked hard and gained a lot through this program. I could evaluate myself through the growth of my students. I was really happy to see the performance of our children in the examination also
Now , it’s time to make a tremendous impact at my new school, T/Mu/ Furkaniya Vidyalaya, again with the assistance of the PIMD team. The students are so eager to learn.
The Lotus program lights my path, showing me that I have made a contribution to my society.
