Mohamed Azmi Thassim The Ambassador of Sri Lanka to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Message from his Excellency I t is with great pleasure that I write this message to you, the leaders and members of the Serendib Toastmasters club for the second year in succession. I have learnt of the high reputation your club has earned over the past fifteen years. I was privileged to attend your annual Awards Night which is a significant event in your calendar, last year and I am happy to be able to celebrate with you this year as well. I have now completed one year as your Ambassador in Riyadh and have been able to observe and understand many aspects concerning the Sri Lankan community in the Kingdom. The annual Serendib Toastmasters’ Awards night is very significant on two counts. One is that it is an exemplary occasion where all communities come together regardless of race or religion and celebrate their children’s achievements together in the spirit of unity. Secondly it also provides the opportunity for our Sri Lankan children to learn Editorial Page effective communication, improve their English and gain confidence in public speaking and all aspects of modern life which are essential to their development. The Serendib Toastmasters club has earned its much deserved reputation for creativity and professionalism and should be commended for showing leadership to the other Toastmasters clubs in the Kingdom. Due to the constant improvements in technology we are now able to witness live debates on television or even through social media and thus observe, understand and learn from international speakers how to present their points of view, convince vast audiences and harness support for their campaigns. These are the basics that Toastmasters’ clubs aspire to instil in their members and it is very important that we value, protect and improve these practices. I congratulate the Serendib Toastmasters club, its leadership and members on the achievements of the past year and wish it well for the coming year. In particular may this Awards night be a fitting celebration of the past and an inspiration for the future. 2 SERENDIB BREEZE
