On the way back to Colombo from Unawatuna Beach we stopped in the small town of Beruwala to visit one of Colombo Central's projects called GEM T.E.D. GEM T.E.D was started by a Rotarian from Dijon, France who is a gemologist by trade. He started a school for underpriveleged girls ages 17-20 where they learn gemology, gem cutting, English, French, art, sports, and communications. RC Colombo Central supports the facility by providing paperwork assistance and matching grants to purchase equipment. This photo is of the gem cutting lab.
