Visit to Panduwasnuwara Kingdom After Getting Details of Poor Family in Mahakeliya

We decided to build new house for another poor family. We get details about few poor families & we choose one family for our donation. First I went to see that family to get details of them. On September 16th morning I went there. I took train up to Kurunegala & from there by bus. Around 10.00 a.m I went there & spent nearly one hour with them. Our first step completed after getting all details. Pls refer below photos & you can get the clear idea about them.

After completed the main job & I had another free couple of hours. So I decided to visit any nearby important place. I decided to visit “Panduwasnuwara” & took the Chilaw bus to get there. Around 1.30 p.m I reached to “Panduwasnuwara”. There was large area to cover & I spent nearly 3 hours there. Around 4.00 p.m I left from there & returned back to home via Kununegala. I completed the day with lots of happy memories.
