As students, you must understand that learning is a gradual journey. Some lessons may seem difficult at first, and progress may feel slow, but that does not mean you are failing. Patience helps you stay calm and trust the process, while perseverance gives you the strength to keep trying even after mistakes. Every challenge you face is an opportunity to grow stronger, smarter, and more confident. When you consistently put in effort, refuse to give up, and believe in your ability to improve, success becomes not just possible, but inevitable. With consistent perseverance and patience, challenges become learning opportunities, and growth becomes steady, meaningful, and lasting. #3.Plan/Next Steps – 1.

During today’s session, students were reminded that examinations are an important part of the learning process. Exams help students understand how much they have learned, identify areas that need improvement, and build self-confidence. They also teach valuable life skills such as discipline, responsibility, time management, and good study habits. Most importantly, exams prepare students for higher studies and future life challenges. Examinations are not meant to create fear, but to support gradual learning, self-assessment, and personal growth. Key tips to prep for exams 1. Discipline – Following a regular routine/time table and staying committed to learning, being organised. 2. Concentration – Giving full attention to the task at hand without distractions. 3. Dedication – Showing genuine interest and putting in consistent effort to improve. 4 . Patience and Perseverance –  – (Patience) Understanding that learning is a gradual process and results do not come immediately. -(Perseverance)It involves staying calm when concepts are difficult, accepting mistakes as part of learning, and continuing to put in effort even when progress feels slow. With consistent perseverance, challenges turn into learning opportunities, and growth becomes steady and lasting. 5 .

Balance – We need to practise the art of balance in everything we do. Balance prevents us from overdoing things and helps us manage our time, emotions, responsibilities, and habits wisely. When we maintain balance in our lifestyle—between studies, rest, relationships, and personal growth—it strengthens both our physical and mental health. Balanced living supports steady and responsible growth. Open – Keeping an open mind allows us to listen carefully, understand different perspectives, and accept new ideas. Openness helps us grow beyond our comfort zone. When we are open to feedback, guidance, and new experiences, we continuously improve ourselves. It also strengthens relationships and builds mutual respect. Learn – Learning should be a continuous process. Every day provides opportunities to learn through experiences, mistakes, achievements, and interactions. Continuous learning increases awareness, sharpens our thinking, and enables holistic growth. When we commit to learning consistently, we become wiser, more confident, and better prepared to achieve our goals.

PLAN/NEXT STEPS -  #1. Good to have features -

•  Crowdfunding - The hope is to utilize existing crowdfunding platforms to raise the remaining funds for specific cases, such as a child needing a significant amount for treatment.

#2. Monthly recurring events/meetings - 

1. One of the key objectives is to review and discuss the requests received alongside the support extended, thereby maintaining transparency throughout the process. All of these events/meetings will be broadcast live on the events section of The Righteous Oak website.
2. Next Steps – Gerard will share a few proposed time slots for the recurring monthly meeting, ensuring they accommodate participants across different time zones.

#3.Requests -  1. The requesters listed below are kindly requested to submit their requests via the email address provided on The Righteous Oak website by clicking on the ‘Request’ button.”

1. Hirush, a student pursuing O levels, seeks financial assistance for a four-year IT diploma course as he aims to become a software developer. The cost of this course is 50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees (approximately $165 USD) per month.
2. Pushpita, a student currently pursuing O Levels, is seeking assistance with a laptop (even a used laptop), which will support his aspiration of becoming a software engineer, as well as financial assistance for his A Level fees. At present, Michael is supporting him in completing his O Levels by providing a smartphone and assisting with house rent to ensure continuity of his education until the completion of his O Levels.

Next steps - Abhi and Michael will review these requests and see in what best way they can support these requests, and Bryce will explore the possibility of securing an internship opportunity for Hiruch at an IT company during the 2.5–3 month gap following his O Levels, which is the waiting period for his results. This would help him gain relevant industry experience. 3. Both Hirush and Pushpita are encouraged to help at least one other child once they are successful and financially stable. #4.Coordination - 

1. As per Michael’s suggestion, he will set up a WhatsApp group to streamline coordination efforts, given that it is a convenient platform for his audience.
