Operation Math Compass

In Sri Lanka, when children reach Grade Six, one of the school items that is needed is a math/compass set (ruler, pencil, compass, eraser, sharpener in a box). Many families are not able to purchase this small item (valued at $1US) so the children need to use each other's set which is very inconvenient during exam times. This math/compass set is used by the students from Grade 6 to Grade 10 and is a valued part of their instruction supplies.

Operation Math Compass is one of the educational projects of the Sri Subramuniya Kottam of Kopay, Sri Lanka. This project is providing a math/compass set to all the less fortunate students who do not have the set. As of October 2010, the Kottam distributed math/compass sets to 820 students in the Jaffna and Kilinochchi districts. This small gift was very much appreciated by the students, their parents and their teachers.
