IT IS NOW OUR SWEET HOME
(TCR reopened its hostel for Boys)

We are all together 15 students at the moment. This has being our sweet home since 9th Januarey 2010. We all are studying at Tangalle aiming to study in a university or to find a better job options with higher results in coming exam in August 2010. We all are from poor or with least facilitated families in countryside. So we enjoy our new home here a lot and would like to thank all of you, who are already helping us and who would like to help us in the future.

The nice and healthy food, comfortable beds, study friendly environment and the real care, which we apreciate verymuch in our home. Compare to our homes, this is a heaven for us. So we are fully dedicated to our education and one day we wish to bring a proud name to our home in the world.

UPDATE 25 / 07 / 2010

We have left just two weeks before our exam that falls in the second week in August. The time is running faster and the excitement is building up in every students. We understand the reality that not every student can get the exam through, but we all together expects to get that as a challenge.

If we did not find this home at TCR, we would have in a very hard time at this moment. The TCR management is giving us a great support and backup to sustain healthy and power. It has made us a great energy to focus on our studies.

We will leave our beloved home after the exam by end of August, but we expect the TCR management to be able to continue this project and all other services for the next generations too.
Thank you very much for every one who dedicates to make this projects going.

UPDATE 09 / 01 / 2010

Today our hostel is reopened for 5 boys those study at Tangalle as same status as girls. Tangalle Children Relay is very happy to be able to provide this service for both girls and boys.

UPDATE 31 / 12 / 2009
Thd Hostel was closed untill the end of year 2009. The reason to keep the place closed is that the new commers are welcomed by our second hostel and it is not yet completed with the expected students.

UPDATE 31 / 08 / 2009
We have just finished our exam two days before. Some of us have done it better. But in average all of us are in better hopes to have a good result in this exam. So it is time to go home and say good bye to our beloved home "Tangalle Children Relay - Youth Hostel". Two of us have lived here for almost three years and the others are staying here since one year or so. Though we are glad to get our homes and to be with our parents and relations, it is a great sorry to leave this wonderful home and the loving care we all got. The life and the education we had at our youth hostel are invaluable for our lives. It is unforgettable.
We first of all want to thank our mother and guardiance of this home for their kind loving treatments while we were here. And also the foriegn sponsors for their kindest support to make this home functioning. That is a great service for the students like us from rural villages of Sri Lanka.
Thank you very much.

UPDATE 28 / 07/ 2009

Our exam is on 11^th of August. There are only few days left. 15 students out of 16 get the exam this time. All are exited. The every second passes by give a high alert in each students mind. But we don’t worry as we always feel safe in this home at TCR. The magic power that we were given by our safe home is the only power that we can prepare for the exam. We feel good as we know our family members at home are doing well. Especially our parents do not have to worry much of our education expenses.

We do hope to do our best to bring a reputation to TCR name and with that our lives in the future will be safe.

At this point, we thank all the ladies and gentlemen, who have support functioning our home for the last 04 years. We understand that you all have dedicated your time and money to make the Tangalle Children Relay functioning well for last 4 years. And we do hope, though we are not more here at our home in Tangelle, the future students of in great need should have this great service too. Therefore we kindly request you to provide your support further to make this service successful for the next generation.

Thank you.

A project that did not exist in the previous history:

It is like a Boys youth hostel. But more like a home for them. Most of their needs for a better study friendly surrounding are provided with reasonable charges depending on the family income.(a comfortable bed, healthy food, tea, and some entertaining programs are provided here.
It mainly concern rural boy students, who had to travels long way for their lessons.

It mainly concern rural girl students, who travels 60 to 80 km per day (twice) or more, for there higher education, to Tangalle. These girls are basically from low income families and having difficulties to continue their education alone.

As we want some involvment from the families and the students, a small participation is requested (300.00 rs). This money is used for entertainment and it is not a must. But most of the parents pay that with pleasure.

The house was in bad condition at the time we rented and needed to be renovated.


FRONT WIEVE	KITCHEN	BATH ROOM

Basically with the support from the French Organization Le Relais Enfant, we were able to furnished the house to a home, where the students can live. There are 4 rooms for students, one for the two maids, 2 bathrooms with toilets, a furnished kitchen + dining room and a study + office room. There is also a small garden, where the preschool children could play.
In adition, a Tele Vision, Refrigerator and a telephone set are provided. An Internet connection was very important as to coordinate with our subsides and also for the usage of students.

Some more improvements are still on proccess.

Students are attending school and private lessons daily from the morning to evening. Right after they get back home, starts their home work. Some students continue their study as late as 2 o clock in the next morning. They simply get few sleep or rest. It is realy a hard work for them. They need lots of motivation and courage in order keep them fit and healthy.

There was computer training for three month and English lesson given by a well trained lady teacher twice a week continually. By 2008, unfortunately we had to terminate this additional services as to our financial situation.

Once a month, and sometimes more, some picnic, visit temple or cinemas are organised. That will help them to balance their mentality and to avoid depresion.

Finding some individual sponsorship when they study in Uiniversities:

Most of the students are willing to go on their studies to university. We are creating some individual files, with their profile (name, family background, pictures, study interest, hobby...) and searching in Sri Lanka and abroad some kind hearted parents, who would like to sponsor on of their future studies in university.
