Helo! That’s how you say “hello” in Sinhala, one of the official languages of Sri Lanka. This South Asian country is home to pristine beaches and is known for its Ceylon tea. Learn more Sri Lanka fun facts here.
Here are five fun facts about Sri Lanka:
Sri Lanka is an island country in South Asia that’s located in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of India.
Countries throughout Asia are known for their diverse cultures, beautiful landscapes and incredible cuisines, but sadly, many are also home to children living in poverty.
Many children and families live in rural communities in remote areas throughout Asia. Unfortunately, these areas often lack critical life essentials like access to nutritious food and medical care.
This leaves children at risk of serious consequences like malnutrition and disease that threaten their well-being and prevent them from growing as they should.
Compassion partners with child development centers throughout Sri Lanka and other Asian countries to offer care to these children. The children we serve are protected from malnutrition, are welcomed into safe communities where they can learn and grow, and they receive education support.
We also provide annual medical checkups to ensure children are healthy. And if they’re sick or hurt, they receive medical care.
