🏢 About the local organisation
Organized together with Green Volunteers for Green Future (GV4GF) since 2012 (since 2013 in this place). GV4GF is a NGO to promote voluntary service, environmental protection and improve rural life. Paniyankadawala is located in the North Central province. In this area, people depend on paddy farming and besides that, home gardening and other small scale crops are planting because for next 8 months, they cannot grow any crops. So, the workcamps try to empower those economically disadvantaged people.
