It has been about 4 years since we first went to Sulugune Primary School. We were unable to go there due to the Covid epidemic in previous years, so our friends decided to see those children this time and help them in our own little way.

We are very happy that we were able to facilitate the children, teachers and parent of the Sulugune Primary School who came on a trip to Colombo on 5th of March.
The Covid pandemic hit Sri Lankans hard. Villagers in Andawala also suffered a lots because of loss of livelihood. We tried to ease the situation a bit by providing dry rations.
A new stupa is being build in the ancient temple of Andawala Udagama. We were lucky enough to get the chance to contribute to it.
During our many visits to Udagama village in Mathale we noticed there are lots of reading enthusiasts. So we decided to get together with the youths and build a library for the village which will server many people.
Andawala Udagama Purana Viharaya lacks a proper PA system. A PA system will not only help the religious activities of the temple but also to the community because the main hall of the temple is used by many.
During our book donation to rural schools we made ourselves a promise to come back with modern equipment that will aid in increasing the quality to education. This is how we kept our promise.
After being under attack from weather for many years the bell tower of the Andawala Udagama temple lost it’s luster. We decided it’s time to give it a make over.
During our book donation tour in the end of 2019 we learned that there are nutritional deficiencies among the students in Sulugune primary school. De decided to step in and do what we can.
We ventured into 3 rural villages in Wilgamuwa area in search of kids who are in great need of outside help. We were surprised so much with what we have found. It was unforgettable.
