Today we did something a little different from our other days spent here; we visited a local Sri Lankan school. We were welcomed with an amazing invitation, and then we were provided with a beautiful feast. Afterwards, we started meeting kids younger and older, most of them were friendly, but a few of them were introverted, so they gave us a shy smile and walked away.
We all gathered on the field and started playing games; volleyball, cricket, dodge ball, catch, and more. Sri Lankans know how to play sports! They whipped us in cricket and wowed us with their ball skills in many of the other activities. During that time, we started breaking off into groups and we started to paint the school with vibrant colors of orange and blue.
We spent our time doing service, but inside, all of us knew that it was the students doing us a service. They were incredible and so warm and friendly. We really couldn’t have been happier to meet all these new people with their big hearts!
