Join the School Supplies Giveaway: Ishara needs helpers on Tuesday
We're short of hands for the School Supplies Giveaway; can you spare a morning?
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka842 views
Every year the School Supplies Giveaway brings together 259 neighbors in Colombo. I help organize it with 7 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down.
We need people for set-up, serving, translation and clean-up. Shifts are three hours long and you can pick the one that suits you. Food and drinks are provided for all volunteers.
It's a fun day for all ages, and our goal is to keep it free. No experience is necessary - we'll brief everyone at the start of the day.
If you can come with a friend, even better. Please say in the comments which shift works for you.
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Ishara. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings
sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Colombo.
Rooting for you, Ishara. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 4 people at work.
Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Colombo
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Monterrey so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Los Angeles
keep going, Ishara. Looking forward to the next update.
Stay strong. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Keep going, Ishara. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Colombo!
Rooting for you, Ishara. I hope things turn around soon.

Thanks for sharing this, Ishara. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Taguig!
Hang in there, Ishara. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Lagos donated after I showed her your page. God bless
