Led by Theresa, who set an impressive benchmark by being the first to have secured admission into one of the better-known universities &amp; who has become a role model whom the others now look up to, Theresa currently in her spare time, volunteers at her old school where she spends qualitative time inspiring &amp; encouraging students to pursue their dreams; while simultaneously drawing attention to the fact, that impossible is a word found only in the dictionary of fools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5123580823957590\" data-ad-slot=\"7875984934\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The young women are wished only the very best in their future endeavours Tea pluckers have been in the distant, not-too-distant &amp; at times relatively recent past, some of the most exploited members of the working class movement; which equal opportunities advocates have reportedly termed, &#8220;slavish working conditions&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">However, they were given a shot in the arm, during the collective tenure of Ceylon Workers Congress (CWC) leaders, Ministers &amp; trade union firebrands, the late Arumugam Thondaman (Snr &amp; Jnr).
