Prison Babies

This time, we could visit them after a long long time though we failed to go visit the prison last week due to the heavy traffic jam.

But, we had some bad news at the prison :( Many of the children were moved to other prison in Kalutara which was suppossed to happen in the beginning of this year, but postponed till now. We thought they would not be moved, but in fact, it was only delayed for a while. So we had only few children left, and also the fact that many of them don't come to our school since their moms don't allow them to go. So many of them were just completely new faces to all of our group. Though we could get along with each other pretty well soon.

In fact we had another bad news. Since they are moved to another prison and recently there have been a lot of helps and aids from other service projects like Hope for kids, we may stop coming to prison and stop this project.
IT's not for sure yet !
But, it seems like it's happening for 60%-like sure, which is sad since I have been involoved in this project since 9th grade.

I thought we should continue the project though maybe in different form/name. I suggested the teachers to go to the orphanage that I have been to. As I have posted earlier, my friends have been visiting this orphanage to help and play with the children there, I have once been there too(see the post entitled 'Christmas Santa').
The orphans there do need a lot of helps and cares. When I visited them, they were literally living in the dusty room which is not a good environment for the little children to be raised at. They needed the proper bed for the children, at least the mattresses since what they currently have are too old that they were all worn out.

So I thought it'd be good if we can go help this orphanage keeping this service project alive. I have to talk to the coordinator of the Community & Service, Ms.Shameela, and see what we can do.
