Saubhagya – phase 02: Haritha
Wiya
The Project Saubhagya was launched as
a significant endeavor to enhance farming methods among agricultural
communities in Sri Lanka. Saubhagya emphasizes empowering communities via
small-scale agricultural assistance and eco-friendly methods. The second phase
of this significant project, Haritha Wiya, was created to provide these
advantages to a deserving community. This stage was effectively conducted on
11th February starting at 10.00 a.m. at Senehasa Elders Home Horana,
uniting Leo members with a common goal of service, sustainability, and
community support.
With the committed guidance of Project
Chairperson Kethaka Kalubowila, the Leo members meticulously strategized and
implemented the initiative to guarantee sustained advantages for the seniors.
Upon reaching the venue, the team initially found an appropriate location on
the site for planting. The chosen area was meticulously cleaned and organized
to establish a healthy and efficient setting for planting. Team members teamed
up to remove unwanted plants, organize the layout, and take the essential steps
to guarantee that the growing process would be orderly and sustainable
After the
preparation stage, the club supplied all necessary resources needed for the
project.
100 plantation pots and 200 Kochchi (Scotch Bonnet) plants,
along with fertilizer and other essential materials, were donated to the
elders’ home. The members thoughtfully positioned the plants in pots and
guaranteeing adequate fertilization. The active participation of the members
not only guaranteed the successful setup of the cultivation but also fostered a
vibrant and engaging environment at the elders’ home. Each phase, from tidying
to sowing, was executed with passion and dedication to ensuring the project's
significance.
With
Haritha Wiya, we aim to generate enduring benefits for the inhabitants of the
elders’ home. The gardening initiative will offer the elderly a chance to
utilize their leisure time constructively by reconnecting with nature and
taking part in planting activities. Furthermore, the
revenue from harvesting
Kochchi plants will directly support the household’s upkeep and daily needs.
In the end, Saubhagya serves as proof that small, sustainable efforts can
generate significant impact, promoting environmental consciousness, financial
assistance, and emotional health within the community.
