“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller

We are a student-led organization which is affiliated with the Janoda Foundation in Hambantota and organize builds with them. However, we also do conduct independent builds as we find them across the island which is not restricted to any particular type of house/school. In order to fundraise we have two main fundraisers as of now which is the making of Home RUN! as our primary fundraiser and then conducting bake sales over the course of the school year. Furthermore, we are starting up Housing’s own line of merchandise including shirts, armbands and other memorabilia to raise funds. We work during the second service semester for each year to endeavour to teach the primary pre-schoolers about the varying needs of affordable safe housing needs within Sri Lanka through the creation of teaching plans.

This service has changed my perspective on percieving people’s lives, it made me appreciate the surrounding people and also giving back to the community is so important not only because it is a good cause but also the experience of it will affect your life in a good way, one way or another

This year I wish to contribute more towards my service group as I aim to be the service leader next year. This year we aim to make a successful homerun and it will be a challenge since the route for this year has been changed.
