Week Without Walls (WWW)

Week Without Walls is a mandatory CAS project where students from grade 6 to grade 11 must attend every year. This is my last week without walls because during week without walls the seniors do their mock IB exams. In total we spent 2 days for traveling, 2 days for service and 1 day for the yala safari trip. For service the students had to refurbish a school constructed after 2004's tsunami struck hambantota (Sri Lanka) the whole grade 11 was divided into two groups. The mural group, the students had to paint pictures on the outer school walls. The painting group, had to repaint the small building. Most of the work was done on the first and on the second day the student performed an old shinhales song called In this tree (translated into English). I was in the painting group, the group and I decided to paint the inter walls of the school and we finished it on the first day its-self. Many students didn't know how to paint and how to mix the paint. Before we left OSC one of the maintainers thoughts us how to mix the paints and on how to paint.
