About Me

I am Malhardeen, Born on 1993 in Srilanka, I Studied in my village school and after I passed the scholarship exam in grade five, I got an admission in a City school, I continued my Studies there, and I have completed my Advanced Level in Mathematical stream in another school. My Parents are refugees, who effected by civil war in our country, as I raised in refugees society, I know the pain and suffers being as refugee in a society, After I completed my schooling I joined to an College for my higher Studies, and now I am Undergraduate in Srilanka Institute of Information Technology,

I started my volunteering life from Disabled school in our village, and I have volunteered in so many sectors as Marine Conservation, IT Project, Youth Empowerment etc. Moreover I have volunteered as Volunteer Coordinator for three month in Maldives, and I have volunteered as Project Coordinator to an Indian Organization too. Still now I volunteer in the Disability School, and same time, I started an Organization named as "Masha Foundation" to help poor students in vocational and technical education.

I am very friendly and easy going personality, I always like to create friends around the world, and I think contacts are an important asset in our life. I like volunteering as I study. I think the best way to find our self is to lose our self in the service of others. I have volunteered in UN volunteers too.

As I am from Refugees society, Now I am researching about how youth has effected by war, and what solution can empower them and bring them over from problems to world with help of Dr, S. H Hasbullah, Senior Lecturer in University of Peradeniya.
