What a fantastic final distribution we had! We were paraded into the school grounds and up to where there were 3 flagpoles. Karen,our leader, unfurled the Canadian flag and the Sri Lankan and school flags were also unfurled. We were led into the auditorium where the children, their teachers and some of the parents were seated. It was awesome to hear our national anthem played. This was followed by the children singing their anthem. A young girl- about 10 years old, was the emcee. She addressed us in English and explained who we were and why we were there. Four young girls did a lovely traditional dance followed by a small choir who sang a song in English and a young lad who accompanied them on the violin. Another young girl sang a song accompanied by a lad playing on a tambourine type drum. It was so delightful seeing the children leading the celebrations. From here we set out to do the last distribution of 193 bedkits. The joy on their faces and their wide eyes staring at the bedkit laid out was a joy to behold. What a gift it was for us to witness and partake in. it was a glorious finale.
