Donating School items to Narangamuwa School | |
We came to the village by 7am and it was very difficult to take a Leyland 54 seater bus to Narangamuwa. However our bus uncle was able to get it in front of the Narangamuwa Temple. Unfortunately the school’s roof was damaged on that time due to the heavy wind over there. We were also feel it on the ground too. They was arranged a small meeting with the participating of all the parents and villagers. So they talked about their matters and we told that how we collect these items and the benefit which we expect from these students. After that we delivered the items to the principal. Kind villagers were arranged a small traditional breakfast for all of us. This was really an unexpected treat for us. However we all ate and after that we moved to our Lakegala hike. |
