Sri Lanka: Day 2

How can you express in words a day like no other: from our culture to theirs, of total acceptance, the laughing and sparkling eyes, the pearly white smiles.

A bedkit from Sleeping Children that brings so much pleasure from people so far away who care about them.

“How can that be?” they ask.

There was so much joy and happiness. The day ended with an impromptu dance, with all joining in, children, volunteers and teachers alike. Dazzling and brilliantly coloured saris whirling around the floor.

Spontaneous and utterly joyful!!

Sadly we had to leave, with hugs all around, and ecstatic waves goodbye.
