Another Side Of Colombo That Nobody Talks About, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

After the donation project, I had a chance to go and see who actually receives the packages and what is the situation with their living conditions. This family has been super nice to let us into their house and show us the whole space.

Those people were speaking Tamil language..That old woman wanted to convey you that the items u gave are so essential and valuable during these trying times..In Colombo houses are very expensive when compared to other cities in Sri Lanka,so it's very difficult to afford to buy a piece land or house easily..Thank you Davud ❤️

hah comparing india with sri lanka? give us those 4 billion dollars of loan we gave u just since ur economic downfall. how many skycrapers u have?, how many start-ups u have? whats ur growth? whats ur foreign reserves? how many millionaires and billionaires u got? how many metros? whats ur military size? how much gold reserves? u should better stay at ur place and dont compare yourself with india. we're giving u electricity, we're giving u food and money. so just fold ur hands like always and thank god u gotta neighbour like us.

[@perampalamarivalagan2062]

Thank you, my friend for the eye opening video showing how the charitable donations are provided to struggling families. This reminded me of my life about 12 years old living in a place called Thalayali, Kokuvil in Northern Province. We had a technical college close by and the low socioeconomic people were living in the surrounding area. There the Christian missionary set up a hut and gave freebies to convert families to their religion. The house visited is much more wealthy than us, ten children, parents and a servant living in the 70ies. However, we would not have received any freebies like this if it was offered as we were proud of our struggling life working harder to prosper on our own. I am wondering where has that pride lost with the people now? Also, charitable organisations must consider distributing the freebies to really needy people than getting job done easily.
