When we first visited them in 2010 we saw many children who has lot of potential yet with less facilities to carry on .. As you could see on these images they did not have a proper building and a suitable environment for them to study
Pic 01– children are studying under a tree and the place had no proper building.. It was covered with a temporary roof and there was no walls around and a proper floor. These kids would not come to school during the rainy season or on a rainy day as there isn’t proper shelter for them.. Some times they would not come to school for weeks because of the rain..
Pic 02– during the past war this school was used by terrorist for their activities.. Ay the end they blasted the whole building… As you could see it is left with the foundations with no building.. There were few buildings in this school and only thing that is left to see is its foundations…
Pic 03– Together with Touch community and with the help of many local friends in Colombo we were managed to build them a new building… The building was constructed under the guidance and supervision of Brigadier Channa kodithuwakku and with the support the 66 brigade army of Sri Lanka we were able to build this school within 6 months…
