The
YMCA of Pamunugama celebrated the opening of its new playground on 12 June
2026, marking the successful completion of Playground Builders 10.0. The
project was facilitated by the YMCA of Negombo and brought together 12 youth
volunteers and 2 leaders from the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong, with support from
volunteers of the YMCA of Pamunugama and the YMCA of Negombo. The volunteers
worked on the project from 7 to 10 June, building new play facilities for the
children of the community.
As
part of the project, a seesaw, a wooden toy car, and a wooden bridge were
installed at the YMCA premises. These additions have created a fun and
welcoming space where children can enjoy outdoor play and spend time with their
friends. The project also provided an opportunity
for friendship, learning, and cultural exchange between the visiting volunteers
and the local YMCA community.
The
opening ceremony was attended by around 60 people, including volunteers from
Hong Kong, board members, youth members, scouts, children, and community
members of the YMCA of Pamunugama. Following the opening, children enjoyed
playing on the new playground equipment and took part in indoor activities with
the Hong Kong volunteers, making the day a memorable one for everyone involved.
During
the ceremony, tokens of appreciation were presented to the Chinese YMCA of Hong
Kong and the YMCA of Negombo in recognition of their support and partnership.
The YMCA of Pamunugama is grateful to all those who contributed
to the success of Playground Builders 10.0 and helped create a lasting gift for
the children of the community.
