Gavel club

Gaval Club is a club that helps us to improve our English skills.

Gavel clubs provide Toastmasters members and clubs with an excellent opportunity for community service. They can be found in high schools, colleges, rehabilitation institutions, hospitals and elsewhere. (Thank you university of kelaniya gavel club)
