“EWRF Junior Club is very good for students to progress themselves. Many motivational and leadership programs run by EWRF through its Junior Club will help the students progress themselves”, said Puvan, one of the members of the EWRF Junior Club.  “I got to know about EWRF through my friends. “They said that EWRF has been running many activities for school students.

“We as parents always support and welcome EWRF Junior Club. It is a good initiative to mould the characters of the students for positive living, to enhance students’ skills and talents and also to enhance their leadership qualities”.
