Kubb unites people and brings peace on earth

Peter and Nilla a couple who are very passionate about the Game of Kubb from Sweden visited Pamunugama YMCA on 10 February, 2019. Both Nilla and Peter are professional Kubb players who play Kubb at competitive level both in Sweden and internationally. They have played the world Kubb championship several times. Peter and Nilla were in Sri Lanka for two weeks as tourists and visited Pamunugama on the day prior to their departure. 

Kubb was introduced in 2015 in Sri Lanka by the YMCA of Pamunugama. It's been played often by youth and children in the YMCA. During the visit Peter and Nilla played several friendly games with Pamunugama youth and children. They also taught the championship rules and gave several tips to improve the playing standards of Pamunugama YMCA Kubb players.

This visit was a great example to the meaning behind its international motto which is "Kubb unites people and brings peace on earth".
