SL Charity | Project Balangoda | Successfully Finshed with lifetime memories | Part 01 | 10% For SL Charity

Hello Everybody!
Do you know what will remain at the end of everything?? It's only the beautiful memories we made and the good thing we did. April 7th It was such a wonderful day full of memories for me and my brother @chathux. We successfully finished SL Charity Project Balangoda and gathered a lot of memories heartwarming and unforgettable. We are soo happy that we were able to bring smile to these little flowers. We are grateful for steemit family, @steem.sri-lanka steem srilanka members and everybody who helped us to make this a success.

I will start the story from the day before the project , April 6th where we started to collect things for the project.

Collecting good list

At about 10 in the morning we went to the town to collect the good list . We decided to add some extra things to the list as
Treat for kids- A drink and cake
Gift for teachers
Wicket set
Lunchbox

First we went to the shops we decided to buy. First we bought sport equipments.

Then drawing books,pastals and other stuffs.

We went to a printing press to print a name list of the kids and steem srilanka message.
Finally we bought cake and drinks for the kids

Collecting goods took a long time and it was nearly 7.00 p.m when we came home. It was so tiring but our interest to finish the project successfully was stronger.

We started sorting and packing gifts for kids.

It was nearly 1.00 A.M when we finished packing. We needed to catch the bus for the village at 5.45 in the morning so we went for sleep right after. We had a lot of stuffs to bring with us, as we didn't able to hire a vehicle we had to catch the bus early. The school is located nearly 3.5 hrs away from our town. As the route is long and difficult it's best to go early. A friend of my brother also promised to join with us and it was a great help.

Heading to Balangoda early in the morning

My alarm rang at 4.00 my mother was awake at the moment and getting ready. We got ready and put all the things to the three-wheeler and headed to catch the bus. Fortunately we catched the bus on time and started the journey.

I frequently contacted the principal of the school and took all the information. We informed that we are coming to the school around 9.00 in the morning.

The bus broke down 1km before our bus stop so we hired a three-wheeler to the village. As The school is located in my mother's village it was so easy to arrange the things . We have lots of relations there so we got a big support.

The village is situated in a hilltop and the route and sourrounding is soo beautiful everytime I visit there I really enjoy the views 🏞️🚌.

We reached the village at about 8.30 A.M We took the breakfast from my uncle's house. We got an extra treatment from another realtion's house as well. Foods was there more than the enough ☺️.

We met principal of the school on the way and Informed that we'll come at around 9.00 a.m. My brother's friend was coming from Colombo. He faced a little trouble of finding the way to the village so my brother and cousin went to bring him.

(What happened was
The village is not on the Google map. The location that my brother sent was wrong and brought him to another village far from here 😅. My brother's friend is so obsessed with dogs he loves them a lot. On the way he has found a sick and weak dog and he waited to help the dog 🥺❤️ ...)

After he came we headed to the school . Only few people's joined us that was so enough. At the very first I was thinking what should I do there because it's my first time organising a charity. I had few plans on my mind to add some colours for the day. No big things but few things to make the kids more happy...

After arriving to school first we met Mr principal and talked for a while. It was right after the interval and students were playing outside.

Thenafter we started the program. We did it with following covid safety measures and keeping social distancing. Sometimes we removed mask for speaking .

Whole program is a different story with lots of pictures and videos . I will share all the pictures with every detail and unforgettable moments. As this post is soo long I will bring another post about the program next...
