Dear SCAW friends,Sri Lankans say, ‘’If you can drive in Sri Lanka, you can drive anywhere in the world."
We wholeheartedly agree with this statement! The road is shared by pedestrians, cyclists, motor bikes, "iron buffaloes", 3-wheeled tuk-tuk’s, cars, vans, buses, trucks, transport trucks, dogs, cows, and goats.
We have experienced this because of our extensive traveling to our distribution sites. Although the distances are not long, there are no highways, therefore it takes a long time to travel short distances.
Each day, we have been traveling to two different distribution sites, for an average of more than five hours of travel time. We would rather travel to the childrens’ villages, than have the kids walk or travel extremely long distances to the distribution sites.
We are excited to be heading off for five days into rural areas to continue with the distributions — but we will be without the convenience of internet correspondence.
