Yesterday was probably one of the most heart touching days of our lives. Some of us started the day out by yoga, and after that we all stretched and went for a morning swim. After that we went on a forty minute bus ride to a local school which we have donated a new roof to, which has not been used in eight years.
When we arrived, they warmly welcomed us with a parade and flowers. Every student from ACS held the hand of an appreciative Sri Lankan student. They had prepared many dances, performances, and speeches to welcome us.
After the opening ceremony, we tasted many different types of Sri Lankan food and snacks. By the time we finished our snacking, it was time to paint the classrooms under the new roof. We painted the walls with the children.
Later on we played different types of games with the children, from both our cultures. We also ate curry with our hands for lunch.
They prepared many activities for us, and we made many friends with the children and exchanged emails with them too.
After returning to the camp, we discussed our day and shared how we felt. We played games in group, then after a long day we went to bed.
