School Supplies for Eastern Children's Homes

LetUsHelpNow held an online discussion with Eastern care homes on Nov 26, 2022, to understand their current needs.  Several of the homes requested school supplies such as shoes, bags, and notebooks. Homes noted that the price of these items has increased significantly over the past few months.

The following eleven care homes have requested education supplies from the Eastern province. 

* Good Shepherd Children Home, Valaichenai - Batticaloa - 22 students
* Four square children's home - Trincomalee - 6 students
* Sri Shanmuga Girls Home - Trincomalee - 14 students
* Grace Girls Home - Trincomalee - 33 students

* Amman Women And Child Development Centre, Ampara - 38 students 

The exact package for each student may vary home to home and by individual needs.  We obtained a sample price list.  Based on the price list, we estimate that each student will need about LKR 5000 to cover their school supplies.
