Day 3: An Amazing Service Day at the Kelani Estates Creche in Belilena

‘Suba Sandawak parents (in case you’re wondering it means Good Evening in Sinhala.)

Were sure you’ve all been waiting impatiently to know what we did today.
So after waking up at 6:30am ee skipped morning stretches and the river bath planned because of a wild intruder. He decided to visit the girls’ bathroom which led to some excitement inside there.

Editors Note: intruder was resident Purple Face Leaf Monkey!

After that we tool a truck ride to a crèche which looks after 15 children – here we divided into two groups. One group started painting the crèche while the other played with the kids.






They were so welcoming and friendly and we spent a great time with them.

One of the mothers was kind enough to cook some snacks for us that we ate during a break. After a few more hours of work we had lunch sent from camp and tidied up the crèche and said some thanks before leaving.




They showed us great appreciation and happiness with big smiles ok their faces and bowed down to thank us which made some of us very emotional.

It was an overwhelming experience and the best part of it was making little kids happy.
When we came back we showered in the river! An unique experience Ha!ha!



Can't wait for tomorrow and some new adventures!”
