Plants For a Greener Tomorrow

We were informed of a need for potted fruit plants, flower plants and herbal plants for a very beautiful sacred temple called "Heenukpura Sri Saddha Vimala"  situated in a rural village called Anukkane.After a brief conversation with the chief monk we had a clear idea about what the temple needed and we together started working on fulfilling their humble need.

On Saturday the 7^th of July all the rotaractors bought flower pots and they were brought to the president, Anuja Madushan’s residence and the pots were all painted white. Then the president’s beloved mother Mrs Dammika Senadeera spoke to us and promised to donate plants from her garden as planting new fruits and flowers was her hobby.


Next day the 8^th of July all the rotaractors got together at the president’s residence at 8.30 am and started planting the plants inside pots with the use of fertilizer. We planted, herbal plants such as neem (kohomba) fruit plants such as orange and lemon and also many flowers plants afterwards we loaded all the pots in to the vehicles of Rtr Kithmini Godawatte and Rtr Nilushka Perera. Next we all started our journey to the temple.


After an almost 2 hours journey we landed at the temple and we were all amazed by the nature and its wonders. All the plants were taken up the rock to the temple and donated then to the chief monk and afterwards the chief monk showed us where to place them. Chief monk didn’t forget to mention how greatful he his and he made the hectic journey a far peaceful one by providing us with refreshments. The day came to an end with us leaving the temple filled with happiness for getting an opportunity to the help  anyone with a need which is the ultimate objective of us rotaractors.
