BEFORE RENOVATION

This school in Sri Lanka needed a relaxing and happy space which could be used by teachers and children so I set about a renovation.

In an overcrowded school for 1000 girls . I felt that a new library would give the school a heart and encourage the wonderful teachers.

We have given some books and are sending out more.

The parents of the children at this school have irregular work and reduced income.

A CLASSROOM FOR SEVEN CLASSES

 

Bureaucracy means that change happens slowly and with a shortage of money, nothing was getting done. I was grateful that they let me in and trusted me. I look forward to seeing the school again later this year.

Opening day.

What a privilege to see the smiles on the faces of the children and teachers.
