Love from the
Mission School children, Sri Lanka!!
Smyrna
Informal Education Program started another successful year of being a strong
pillar of hope and love for neglected, poor and distressed children. Children
are so delighted in partaking in school activities like games, reading writing
and handwork and many more. Some do call Smyrna Informal Education Program is
their home. The Program is not only in their hearts but they do feel in their
soulstoo. What an amazing joy to share with you all.
We are so honored to write
about 15 children who were admitted to the Government schools. 7 children from
NuwaraEliya, 6 from Kandapola and 2 from Ragala. Children who were between 7
and 12were selected and Smyrna was able to give a helping hand by putting them
in suitable grades in Government schools. At the same time Smyrna was able to
supply them stationeries, books, shoes and socks and school bags.In February and
March we had a wonderful lady called Johanna a volunteer visiting us from
Sweden and children were so happy to learn from her. She taught English.handwork
and did sports activities. Out of 15 children 12 are girls. Our focus is to SAVE GIRLS.
Unless the school is not there for these kids definitely they
would have under child labor or early marriage. Smyrna is for individuals.
