Campaign Story
This fundraising campaign aims to help those in need during this 2 months journey as a volunteer in Sri Lanka (starting on the 2nd of April 2016).
All the funds raised will serve to provide the Orphanage with most needed General GOODS; such as shampoo, inner ware, medicine etc. So in this case I'll have the opportunity to buy them whilst working there, instead of giving the money to some entity.
On the meantime I'll try to keep this page updated about all the trip preparations.
