Sri Lanka: Distributing 4,000 Bedkits is Complete!

There’s a strange feeling about the day of the last distribution.  Each day we’ve been working hard and learning little tricks along the way to make each distribution day run a bit smoother than the one before.  At the beginning of the distribution, the number 4,000 sounds so big, until you’re down to the last 50 photographs.

Traditional Tamil Dance


It’s incredible that five days of distribution have passed by so quickly.  It’s hard to believe that we have covered so much distance and visited so many schools and distribution sites.  But it’s not hard to picture the smiling faces of 4,000 children for whom we have provided bedkits and imagine them well-rested and healthy, ready for their next school day. 


Our distribution’s success is largely due to the support from our Overseas Partners, the Rotary Club of Kelaniya.  They have been with us along the way; passing on all there is to know about Sri Lanka’s culture and specifics about the children at each distribution site.  They really are our “partners” in this venture.
