The first UNAWE - Sri Lanka program was held on 8 August 2009 for Girl Guides at Holly Family Convent, Dehiwala. About 50+ girls in grades 6 - 9 and teachers joined for an evening of celestial experience.
The program started with an introduction to the night sky conducted by Thilina Heenatigala. It was followed by an introduction on how to use star maps by Dimuth Waliwitiya. The girls were divided into two groups and the conductors took them for a ride through the night sky, introducing constellations, planets. The students were given a chance to find constellations using star maps on their own as well. The evening concluded with a dinner together with the guides.
