Care Leavers
Trips are a good opportunity for the care leavers to have experiences which were not available to them growing up in children’s homes.
Care Leavers
Trip to the South Coast
Last week some of our younger boy care leavers enjoyed an outing to the South Coast. At Brighter Path we try to organise regular trips, outings or fun activities so that care leavers can enjoy, like so many others, a ‘day off’. It is also a good opportunity for them to visit places they have never been to and to have new experiences which were not available to them growing up in children’s homes.
The boys were accompanied by the Brighter Path general manager, Nishantha, and the boys’ coordinator Dhammika. They enjoyed a fun trip to Unawatuna beach where they splashed around in the ocean, played volleyball and ate a delicious lunch. Later they enjoyed Galle Fort’s ramparts and walking around this historic town.
