We were lucky to invited from Manusath Derana to lead the cleaning project on Kuruwita – Erathna route on this massive project. As we planned we came to the Galwangediya Ambalama and get down via Erathna route for cleaning and collecting garbage. It took all over the day and Derana has provided garbage bags and some stuff for the participants and it was much easier for everyone too.
