Dear children,

This week we celebrate an important Buddhist festival- Poson which is the day on which Buddhism was brought to Sri Lanka. The Poson story is published elsewhere in our pages. Environment Day was also celebrated on June 5 to create awareness about the environment. If we take care of the environment without cutting down trees and do our bit to safeguard the environment it will benefit future generations. Our surroundings are of paramount importance and everyone of us must pay special attention and take care of it. We should not waste water and pollute waterways because water is important for us. We need water for cooking, cleaning and to quench our thirst. If we waste water and pollute the environment very soon we will pay the price for it.

Bye for now,

Aunty Merle.
