Project THYAGA
This is the name that we have given to our charity program which we(University of Colombo School of Computing - 2006 batch) conduct every year. We started this as a small event last year by donating essentials for an orphanage(I don't remember most of the details) and this year we made it big and did a pretty good job of it.
This year we chose an school located in the "Nawalapitiya" area and Project THYAGA was all about fulfilling some of the basic needs of that school. This is a primary school where it has like 30 children and 4 teachers including the school principal. The school has only one building and a small playground and all the children are in grade 1,2 and 3.
Some of my batch mates work very had for this( I don't want to mention their names because I could miss some :) ) and we concluded this event yesterday(24/June/2012). I was able to catch few moments during our program.
We got a warm welcome from the school

We got a warm welcome from the school
There were lots of children and parents gathered to welcome us.
The school had only limited resources with only one building.
Our guys worked hard.
And gathered so many resources to donate.
Everybody participated in donating the stuff to the children.
Dinusha had the pleasure of handing over rest of the things to school.
Which brought lots of smiles to their faces.
After that there were smiles all around.
And finally we came back.
The event was amazing and I would like to thanks all the organizers and all the people who have helped in various ways to make this a complete success.
