Happy Birthday Sir
Birthday Tribute to our founder Mr. K.M. Sahabdeen
Dear Sir,
On this special day, the entire Cambridge community comes together with deep respect, gratitude, and affection to wish you a very happy birthday.
You are not just the Founder and Principal of Cambridge International School, Matale, nor only the Chairman of the Cambridge International School Group and its franchise network. To the people of Matale, you are the visionary who transformed the educational landscape of this town.
In 1991, when you introduced English medium education to Matale through Cambridge International School, you did far more than establish a school. You opened doors to opportunities that many had never imagined. You brought international standards of education to a community that deeply needed it, uplifting not only academic standards but also the aspirations, confidence, and lifestyles of generations.
Through your vision, dedication, and discipline, Cambridge International School has produced thousands of professionals who proudly carry the values you instilled in them. Each of them would wholeheartedly affirm that the foundation you laid has shaped their lives and careers.
Dear Sir, we are who we are today because of your commitment and your singular vision to give this town the gift of quality education. The discipline, principles, and leadership values you taught us remain with us for life. They have not only shaped us as professionals but also as individuals.
You have always reminded us that “Cambridgeians are leaders, not followers.”
And indeed, you taught us this not merely through words, but through your own example.
A person like you is rare, a true educationist, a principled disciplinarian, and a selfless leader who has always remained close to the community he serves. Leadership, as you often say, cannot simply be taught; it must be demonstrated. Your life has been that demonstration.
Today, as we celebrate your birthday, we celebrate a life of purpose, service, and inspiration. The entire Cambridge family, past and present students, parents, teachers, staff, and the wider community treasure you deeply and remain forever grateful for everything you have given to us and to Matale.
May you be blessed with continued health, happiness, and many more years of inspiring generations.
Happy Birthday, Sir.
With love, respect, and gratitude,
From the entire Cambridge community past and present students, parents, teachers, staff, and well-wishers.
