I'm thrilled to share my third weekly update with you all.
If you've read my previous updates, you'll know that this week has been fairly routine. However, I did have a few noteworthy experiences.
Uki
This week, I visited the Uki Kilinochchi center to check on the office setup and make any necessary arrangements. Afterward, we headed to a recently opened restaurant in Kilinochchi for lunch. I can't recall the name, but I was amazed by the transformation of the area. Kilinochchi has changed drastically over the past 15 years. The A9 road is now vibrant, lined with shops, banks, and various facilities. Uki Kilinochchi is centrally located, within walking distance from the A9 road and the railway station, making future travel between Kilinochchi and Jaffna convenient. I am considering renting a place to stay and work there.

After Kilinochchi, I visited the Vavuniya Uki center, where the current cohort had their final presentations. The students were full of energy and their presentations were impressive. I had the chance to speak with them individually, and they shared how Uki has positively impacted their lives, much like it did for me six years ago. Their enthusiasm was infectious. I stayed in Vavuniya at my sister-in-law's brother's home. Their hospitality was heartwarming—they provided me with food and a bicycle to explore the town. I am truly grateful for their generosity.
During my evening rides around Vavuniya, I captured some moments of my nocturnal adventures, which I'd like to share with you.
Over the weekend, I began teaching TypeScript to the Uki online cohort. Receiving positive feedback from the students, who understand the material, is incredibly fulfilling for me as a budding teacher. I hope to maintain this momentum throughout my tenure at Uki.
