Week Without Walls

February 22, 2011
This year for WWW(Week Without Walls) the grade 11 class went down to Hambanota, South Sri Lanka where we took part in a variety of activities mainly involving community service involving an issue of global importance. Overall I found this Week Without Walls in particular to have been the most rewarding out of all of mine for this one was solely CAS (Community, Action and Service) orientated. The main thing that i found it to be the most rewarding was that of painting the school. These schools don't have much and neither do the people that attend the school and when we all saw how happy and thankful they were after we did no more than a little polish and paint; it was all worth it. I personally think that even painting is great, the real need at schools such as these are not paint jobs and cleaning, the children need school supplies where I think would benefit them much more than some paint. But aside the minor issues with the school and what view as their needs i found it to be a good WWW.
