Miles of Smiles 4.0 phase 3
As Nelson Mandala said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
We all understand the value of education. During this economic downturn, many children have stopped attending school because they cannot pay the costs of the stationeries and are unable to afford the supplies they need.
Therefore in this phase, we chose a school where students from low-income families and we decided to donate stationery to them. As Leos, we want to provide a solution and give back to the education of these students. We selected Diamond Jubilee School in Panadura. About 201 students are attending this school. When we first visited the principal of the school, we inquired about the necessary school supplies that students required.
The principal provided us with a list of stationery items such as A4 bundles, world maps, Sri Lankan maps, graph papers, colour boxes, mathematical instrument boxes etc. After some discussion, we decided to deliver these items to the school. On March 29, they were purchased by two members of our committee from the Pettah. The following day, we went to school and gave these items to the principal of the school.
The third and final stage of our project was completed successfully. Therefore, we were extremely pleased that we were able to effectively complete the project in three stages. We successfully achieved our goal: to lend those kids a helping hand so they could keep up their education despite the challenges.
As Leos, we continuously care about children and do our best to support them in realising their goals. During this time, we got the opportunity to paint their dreams and observe their reactions to receiving these items. Last but not least, we wish for them to achieve their goals in education and be a good citizen of the country..
