Pamunugama Youth Trained to Conduct Children's Club

Children's Club is the one of the priorities of the YMCA of Pamunygama as we believe that the YMCA Children's Club is the beginning of building a strong leadership for the YMCA. Several of the current leaders of the YMCA movement are a product of the Children's Club.

On 2nd March, 2013 YMCA of Pamunugama conducted a training for 11 youth who gave commitment to support the Saturday Children's Club Programme.

During the programme youth were equipped with the knowledge to conduct a Children's Club including educational activities, games, songs and etc.

Event started with a discussion on why we need a Children'c Club which conducted by Mr. Shelton Peiris. Mr. Aruna Shantha Nonis conducted a session on educational activities where the songs, newletters and many other small activities can be used. Later after the luncg Mr. Asheley Mendis led a session on conducting games and songs for a children's Club. As the final session of the day Mr. Roger peiris conducted a session on the importance of having a committed group of leaders to conduct the Children's Club smoothly.

With this training YMCA look forward to have more active participation of youth in conducting the children's club from next Saturday.
