Oh what a fabulous day!
Our distribution was held at a Tamil school high in the hills near Kandy. Children from the surrounding area came to that school to get their bedkits.
The school was very well kept and included grades 1 - 13. We were offered tea in the Home Sciences classroom where boys and girls are taught to sew and to cook.
They were very proud of their library that contained books in both Tamil and English and there were plenty of inspirational signs scattered around the school.
The small children needed help carrying their bedkits and we had lots of volunteers in the 8th and 9th grades to help us with that.
These older children were an absolute delight to work with and whenever we had a spare moment we had no end of fun entertaining each other. Most wonderful of all was having them sing their national anthem to us and at the close of the day, they all wanted hugs which we were only too happy to provide! There could not have been any better way to end the day!
