In July 2015, a group of eighteen fifteen year old boys and eleven Year 12 students will be going out to Sri Lanka where we are splitting up into a number of groups travelling to Kilinochchi, Colombo, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Batticaloa, where we will be spending a week in and amongst the local communities.

We will be training and running a number of charity associated activities. 
Simultaneously each group will be raising and training a team of street children to accompany us back to Kandy, one of the biggest cities in the country, where we plan to host Sri Lanka's first ever national street children's rugby 7s tournament.  Many of the children we will be meeting will either have lost some of their family in the civil war or in the tsunami and have almost nothing left and are sometimes left to fend for themselves on the street.

Child Action Lanka works to assist and transform the lives of disadvantaged street children across the country. 
Many suffer hunger, neglect, exploitation and abuse and are deprived of the respect and opportunities received in the western world.

Currently Child Action Lanka run a series of schools and centres across the country.
Their biggest school, based in Kandy, currently educates hundreds of boys and girls who without your future support would have no education.
The children are born into such poor backgrounds that the school has to provide everything. From clothes to crayons, books to babies’ nappies. The teachers are volunteers, and are often only paid to allow them food and drink. The buildings in which teaching takes place are not owned by the school.

In order to buy the school and the surrounding area we need to raise the money to be able to buy all 20,000 bricks, each costing 50 pence. Make yourself part of the charity, part of the building and help us to reach our aim.
