Following a concept of the President of Navy Seva Vanitha Unit (NSVU), Mrs. Yamuna Wijegunaratne, a special beauty culture course, organized for the wives of senior sailors of the Navy, was commenced in Welisara on 25th October 2016. The initiative which focuses on imparting much needed knowledge to improve the skills in the field and making the attendees aware as how to launch it as a self employment opportunity, was officially commenced at the beauty parlour located at SLNS Gemunu, under the patronage of the President of NSVU.
The course is scheduled to be held 3 days per week and the President of NSVU had made all arrangements to provide skin care products and cosmetics such as perfumes, lotions, shampoo and oil free of charge until the termination of the course. Mrs. Wijegunaratne also distributed prizes among the women sailors who conduct the programme by instructing the novice with practical aspects of beauty culture. The members of NSVU were also present on the occasion.
