It feels so sad when the coronavirus rules the world and
situations keep changing every now and then.
Once again, schools have been closed in Sri Lanka after having been open for two months. As I have told you earlier, we have been helping families by providing, for example, foodstuffs and hygiene products.
In our school they had been talking about the poor situation
of the elderly. Dilip and the school staff will always ask first from our end
in Finland if it would be possible to carry out some activity or event. Then we
pondered it together how to also help old people and – what is the nicest – to
make it an educational experience for the children as well.
We decided to buy foodstuffs for the old people's home. This
home is a familiar place as it is situated in the same village with our other
school, and having visited it for many times I know that its outside also needs
some freshening up and a little bit repair. Therefore, we also decided to buy
some paint. The intention was to have the pupils and their teachers involved in
the happening, each according to their own abilities, and thus get the
opportunity to help the elderly, clean the yard and paint together.
Due to the coronavirus situation, we want to be careful and so the children cannot participate in the activity after all. However, the job will be done as Dilip promised to arrange young people to paint and help.
