Sri Lanka: Day Three

From Sri Lanka Album
Another amazing day as we headed to A/Sampath Nuwara Welioya for our third distribution.

The impact of years of war were evident, not only through the barren landscape, but through the stories shared by the head mistress during our welcome speech. The team was moved by stories about these rural families abandoning their homes each night to seek cover in the surrounding jungle, and by the visual reminders of bunkers on the school site.

To see the children now attending school free of fear, and relationships redeveloping with the army, gives this village hope towards a brighter future.

For SCAW to be a part of this is something pretty magical.
