To buy essential things they have to come to Nawalapitiya town 45 minutes by train.As it is private estate the employers never get work regularly. Children could not attend to school , as the parents could not provide their schooling. But these children come to the Sunday School. The pastor and his wife decided to bring this children to Nuwara Eliya as a trip.

All the children,Youth, Sunday school teachers and some of the parents, Pastor and his wife took first train to Nawalapitiya station, all of them got in to the bus which booked previously. Straight away they visited Cattle farm in Ambewella, and milk foods. At about 1.30 they came to Smyrna. They were so hungry after the long journey up to the hills. all of them were so curious when they saw the swings, merry-go-round, see saw etc.. Almost most of the children were fighting to go in the swings.At about 1.45 all of them gathered at the school for lunch. Served with rice, chicken curry, potato curry. and papadam. After the lunch plantain and sweets were served.
There after children were explained about Smyrna and took around departments,they were so surprised to know about the supports and how the poor children could achieve their careers.
