The leader of the KRDV also stressed that this program means a lot to nations like Sri Lanka, which has professionals in various sectors such as health, sports and computer science graduated from Cuban universities.

On behalf of the group, the leader expressed his enormous gratitude to Fidel Castro and the Cuban people for taking care of them during their studies. He also emphasized on that period, during which they received a first class academic education for life.

Rathnamudali affirmed that they confess anywhere in the world that they are professionals graduated in Cuba, and are respected for it. He added that they always feel Fidel’s guidance in aspects of life and daily work and that “although we are now adults, we feel we are sons and daughters of Fidel, who lives in our hearts”.
