On this episode of Dragonwaves, spend some time with Ms. Mekala Weerakoon, a long-time Lower Primary teacher and beloved member of the HKIS community. For over 15 years, “Mek” has made her way into the hearts of her colleagues, her students and their parents with her no-nonsense approach to life and her big heart.
Mek calls it like she sees it, which is why students from the age of 4 to 8 love bantering with her over all kinds of topics that emerge in the classroom during community time, academic time, and guided play. She taught Reception 1 for seven years, followed by Grade 2 for another eight years. Mek could bring out the best in every child and was never shy about talking about her God and how He guides her each day.
Amongst adults, Mek is largely the same way. So, when the topic of menopause became top of mind for her, she opened this topic of conversation to anyone who would listen. Lo and behold, she found that there were so many women who wanted to talk about it, but didn’t know how to bring it up. Tune in to this episode to hear what she has to say about menopause, life at HKIS, and her journey back to her homeland of Sri Lanka.
