Support an underprivileged school in Sri Lanka

Dear Donors,

Here’s an update on Landegama’s Sanitation Project. In our last update we broke ground on the project with a ceremony. Since then, the construction team began work and have made significant progress on the building. One adjustment to the plan required the building of a retaining wall, since we discovered that the ground on the site was not sturdy enough for the foundation. Of course, we chose to do the necessary additions to ensure the facilities will stand safely for years to come. While progress continues, our project lead made a trip to Landegama from the US to see the work for himself. Please see the attached photos of the construction.

In the meantime, we also arranged a workshop for the teachers and students at Landegama regarding the use of remote learning and digital tools. We were fortunate to have Dr. Athula Samarasinghe, from Sri Jayawardenapura University, visit Landegama for this insightful lecture.

We hope our next update will be about the completion of this important project. We appreciate all your support. Your continued donations will ensure that it will be a success!

Dear Donors,

As we mentioned in our last report, our focus for the last few months has been on planning and preparing for the construction of new toilet facilities at the Landegama rural school. We’ve selected a contractor to do the construction, and we’ve received approval from the relevant government authorities to proceed.

This has taken significant coordination and effort from our team members, and especially our project manager who is working with all parties on the ground. At last, we’re very pleased to report that we’ve begun construction on the sanitary facilities, starting with a groundbreaking ceremony that occurred on July 31st! We expect the construction to be completed within the next two months and if all goes to plan, one of our team members will be visiting the school to see the completion and to hand over school supplies that we’ve organized for the students.

Please enjoy the pictures of the groundbreaking ceremony, and thank you again for your continued support!
