First Habitat for Humanity Build

As you know I am part of a group called Habitat for Humanity. As this activity allows us to explore the local community and help them with construction or digging up foundations. All year, because of acedemic work and being part of a play, I never had the chance to go out and realise this experience, but last weekend was my first time and it was a blast! Our location was about 45 minutes away from school in a neighborhood that was relatively poor. We Helped one of the local people dig a foundation for her and her family wanted to extend their house. I also met other local kids and gave them a show with my juggling skills.  All though it was a helping people, it was also a physical challenge. The next day my back was sore and my legs were cramping. Hence I hope to be part of the next habitat build and continueing to explore the local environements.

In geography class we had to do some sort of study on the tropical rainforest here in Sri Lanka. Their were a variation of choices and subjects to study, after great thought I chose to study the soil. My study was based on soil and how soil quality can affect plants in the near by area. We were meny students so people would chose the same subject, in that case I was partnered with Roger who he too is studying soil. Our plan was to get soil sample from diferent lacations in the forest such as: tea estate, home garden, primary forest and secondary forest. Collecting 3 samples in each area to do different studies, which will be conducted at our school. After gathering data from the experiments I will wright an investigation study essay. This trip not only helped me get data but made me apreciate nature, every aspect of the forest is essencial for life. Thus I will and hope to go back to the forest and enjoy its peace with my friends and family.
