support under-privileged children in Sri Lanka
I am currently working as a social service officer in Sri Lanka and I am a graduate science teacher in a difficult government school by profession.
Every child has a dream to go to school. But for some this is merely a dream. If a child doesn’t have school uniforms, shoes, books or a school bag, he or she is discouraged from going to school. There are many such children in the rural areas of Sri Lanka who have been marginalised by poverty. As a result absenteeism is common among these schools and children are often deprived of their basic educational needs. Identifying the need to provide support for such children, the My Hope to supprot them. Having done various projects in aid of school-children and under-privileged families.

We have come across children who have never worn a pair of shoes and I got my volunteers to look for these children
Three to four families came back to us and said that their children have been chosen to university and that some have passed their O/Ls and most importantly children are showing an interest to go to school. Since they don’t have books and other materials, children are discouraged to come to school and schools in rural areas have higher rates of absenteeism. Even one hour of study would help a child to become a better person.”

I hope for your help to provide school shoes and equipment to 500 selected very poor children through this social project of mine at $15 each.
