Habitat for Humanity

Since the beginning of school - as I obviously forgot to mention - I have been joining the Habitat for Humanity CAS Activity. The Habitat for Humanity is a world recognized organization, which share the same objectives. The primary objective of this CAS Party is to support the poverty by building houses and raising charity for it.

The Habitat for Humanity (HfH) CAS has just started this year, by president and friend Ali Khan. Because Sri Lanka is a country with poverty, it is a major attempt to support their lives by HfH. Although the activity has just started, the organization has already provided us the opportunity to paint walls of a girl’s home - a home for who lost their relatives in the Tsunami. For educational reasons, I was not able to attend this event, but I have heard that this had been a great time for the students, and would be a positive motivation towards further attempts. The photo on the left is a photo during the painting session with the leader.

After this painting event, a movie night was developed to raise charity. As we started of with a blur aim, we ended up with a pretty nice amount of people at the Primary Multi-Purpose Room (PMPR). We served popcorn and Coca-Cola(c) to the children before showing them the movie - obviously making them all hyper - with cones made by ourselves. We were approached by around 100 kids at the PMPR, eager to watch the Monster House(c). Children generally behaved well during the show and was a pleasant place to be at with laughters of the children.

Although we cannot expect major house construction during this year, these events would significantly help us way for next year's HfH project.
