To mark World Environment Day, the Early Childhood
Development Centers across the Kotmale West Divisional Secretariat Division
successfully conducted a series of Shramadana (voluntary community work)
and tree-planting programs on June 4th and 5th, 2025.
These activities were organized in alignment with the
national theme "දළුලන්න ඉඩ දෙන්න" (Let Them Bud), introduced by the Ministry of Women and Child Affairs.
The core vision behind this meaningful initiative was to
foster a deep connection between young children and nature. By nurturing a
plant from its early stages, the program aimed to sensitize children to the
environment, guiding them to grow into individuals who love, respect, and
protect the world around them.
The active participation of teachers, children, and parents
highlighted the community's commitment to creating a greener and more
sustainable future for the next generation.
