YMCA of Pamunugama consider this change in the movement as positive move and believe that the justice, equality, and good governance will be restored after a era of undemocratic governance for 3 years in the National Movement which effected the YMCA movement in Sri Lanka negatively. We wish Mr. Nirmal De Fonseka for his appointment and assure fullest cooperation in rebuilding the movement back to where it was.
