On Week Without Walls we went to Hambantota, the bus ride took a long time but i got a chance to see the highway which was good as it shows the Human Inginuity of Sri Lanka. We got to the hotel and put our bags in our rooms, after that we went to check out the two schools that we would be working on for the next two days, in my opinion we needed another day to complete it as some things were left unfinished, like the slide for example. After we got back from the schools we met in our groups and planned what we were going to do and what we needed, next we set goals and reflected on our day then we had free time untill we went to bed at 10.30. The next day we woke up ate breakfast then went to our school that we were assigned to, the children greeted us and gave us a flower then we interacted with them for a bit then went to work. I started on painting the inside of the school, we started with a light blue on the walls. At first we only had brushes because the van which had the rollers in was getting supplies so in the beggining we started of slow but then the van arrived with the supplies. We went around with the rollers and did most of the wall leaving the edges then someone came with a thin brush and painted the edges, we worked collaboratively and this was good as we finished the walls pretty fast and soon moved on to the pillars. We ran out of light blue paint though so we couldnt finish the main walls yet but later we got paint from the other school and finished them off, then i helped out outside for a bit till the day was over. The next day at school there was alot that got done by everyone, i was working on fixing up a homade swing to make it safer unfortunately i stood on a wooden plank which had a nail sticking up and it went through my flip flop and into my foot.
