Only 2,100 USD away from 100,000 USD total donations to Sri Lanka in the last four projects in the last 3 years. πŸ‡±πŸ‡°

Here is the list of projects we have done together, using my social media platforms to raise funds for various purposes to support underprivileged communities in Sri Lanka:

$25,200 - Feed The Hungry (2022)
$27,000 - Building Village Education Center (2023)
$29,900 - 22 Toilets For Special Children (2024)
$15,800 - Education For 400 Village Students (2025, ongoing)

That also means our current project is short an additional 2,100 USD to reach our 3-year goal of 100,000 USD.

I am very grateful to everyone who shared the initiatives and decided to be donors to the projects! This would not be possible without you for Sri Lanka β€οΈπŸ‡±πŸ‡°

I've included the current GoFundMe project link in the comments below, which supports the education of students in remote areas of Sri Lanka.

Day #55 - Free Education For 400 Village Students Project, Sri Lanka πŸ‡±πŸ‡°

While I was working on the Sri Lanka 7.0 series, I was also promoting a fundraiser to collect funds for the education of village students in Sri Lanka. Initially, our goal was 30,000 USD, but unfortunately, we were unable to reach it during the video series. So I have decided to make the project goal more achievable by the end of the year. We aim to raise 20,000 USD and finalize the project by supporting at least 400 students with their education for a year.

55 days after the project's launch, we have achieved 74% of our project goal, as indicated by our new numbers. The current total of $14,464 USD supports 290 students. Every $50 USD donation supports one village student for a year with their education.

I am very grateful to everyone who shared the initiative and decided to be donors to the project! β€οΈπŸ‡±πŸ‡°

For the past year, I have been very consistent with posting YouTube content, with no exceptions. I have posted every second day for the past 365 days on the main channel.

It is not only YouTube, but content is also released every single day on Facebook, the YouTube Shorts channel, Instagram page, and TikTok.

Thank you for your support and for watching the content I share from different corners of the world, as well as for sharing stories about the kindest souls of the nations.

Where are you from, and what do you love most about the channel? β€οΈπŸ™πŸ½

Following up on the corruption story in my last video from Zambia, I would like to make a few things very clear:

- These incidents or market videos should not discourage you from visiting beautiful Zambia, as I will have more videos sharing the beauty of the country in the coming days.
- I have met wonderful people in Zambia, and this video does not represent the kindness and hospitality of all Zambian people. β€οΈπŸ‡ΏπŸ‡²
- I am not proud of bribing my way out of the situation. Still, when you are at the mercy of a government official, I would choose any means possible to stay safe and extricate myself from the situation without escalating it.
- Most importantly, if this case gets escalated to the government level, I do not want anybody to be punished; I do not want the man to be fired or lose his income stream. I do not wish anyone harm, especially if he is a family man.
- Thank you for all the apologies I have received from the Zambian people on the comments, but no need, as this incident does not represent the whole nation. Not at all.

I understand that the conditions are challenging for many people in these markets, and they try to make ends meet. However, people should find honorable ways to make a living, as the rest of the ladies and kids spend days earning a few dollars. And most importantly, authority should not be abused for extra cash from a foreigner.

Thank you, and so much love to Zambia and its people! β€οΈπŸ‡ΏπŸ‡²πŸ™πŸ½

We have officially finalized the Sri Lanka 7.0 series on my main YouTube channel, and the series will continue on other social media accounts. In this series, we have done the following:

- Showing the ultra luxury side of Colombo;
- Attending Buddhist festival, The Kandy Esala Perahera;
- Attending Hindu festival in Jaffna, The Nallur Festival;
- Sharing the lifestyle of the Muslim majority Kattankudy town;
- Supported an entrepreneur with $500 on a remote Delft Island;
- Explored the east coast of the Island, Trincomalee & Batticaloa;
- Shared tourism opportunities of this beautiful island;
- We have also collected nearly 14,000 USD for the education of the village kids, which will support over 270 individuals for a year with their studies and development.

Unfortunately, we did not meet our target goal of $30,000 USD during this series. However, we will keep the campaign open until the end of the year and hope to reach our goal as the videos gain more attention on various social media accounts.

Thank you so much for all the love and support, and I am forever grateful for the attention.
Until next time, Sri Lanka! πŸ‡±πŸ‡°β€οΈ
