Map Reading Session for Scouts and Guides

Today (15.05.2015) Scouts and Guides of the YMCA of Pamunugama had a map reading session at the Children's Club meeting. Then they were given the task to follow a map and to meet a person. 

Destination for the first Group was Mr. Ananda Ranaweera's house (Member of the YMCA). During this visit they had to learn about the history of Pamunugama area and to learn the stories behind the names of the villages in the Pamunugama peninsula from Mr. Ranaweera. 

Destination for the second group was Santosa Foundation which is a like-minded organization that work to reduce poverty in the area. There they had to learn about the activities of the Santosa Foundation. 

Both groups reached the destinations successfully and returned to the YMCA by noon. Then they had a presentation on their visit and shared their experiences on map reading which was a new thing for most of the kids.
