Distribution of stationeries among flood affected Life Agriculture Project Members in Horowpothana


Four Pamunugama YMCA representatives visited Horowpothana on 01 February, 2015 to meet with the Life Agriculture Project Members. There are 25 families involved with this project.
Responding to a request made by the project members Pamunugama YMCA arranged a distribution of stationeries for the school children of these 25 families during this visit. Each family received a set of books valued around Rs 1,000/=.


Then YMCA representatives had a shat about future project activities and visited home gardens and the destroyed paddy fields belong to these 25 families due to heavy floods during the end of 2014. Among all financial difficulties, the project members hosted a wonderful village lunch for the YMCA representatives and appreciated the effort of the YMCA for keeping the promise by arranging stationeries.
