In our first school supplies project, we provided books, pencils and other supplies for a small school and for all ages at the school.
Here is a picture of how the supplies were packaged. Each student received a plastic pouch containing a selection of supplies.
Here is a picture of a student receiving her supplies.
This student is wearing the traditional children's dress of Sri Lanka, called the "child-sari", or "lama sari". It consists of a blouse and a wrap around skirt and is worn for special occaisons.
Here is a video of a student speaking on behalf of her school. She is speaking in Sinhalese, the local language spoken in the south of Sri Lanka. Her words can be roughly translated as:
"For providing us with these supplies, we hope that you will receive blessings. We also pray for good health for you and strength to continue good works like this."
