Welcome to the New Home Garden Project
TANGALLE CHILDREN RELAY is proud to inform all our friends and donors about our new PROJECT of starting another home gardening activity at nearby villages at Tangalle.
This project was a sub contract of ADRA Sri Lanka foundation, which trusted our worthy services given to the community of Yaya wattha tsunami housing scheme for the last 8 months.
"Read the project proposal with Adra Sri Lanka"
We have initiated the project in October 2008. According to our first research in this project, it revealed that the families were selected by Adra Sri Lanka foundation is in real need of assistance. So TCR took the project in first hand to help them.
Then we organized our first home garden introduction program for 22 families.

| Our first home gardening introduction programe | Samanmali delivers a lecture about the basic home gardening. |
 |
 |
| A digital projector was utilized to maximise the project ourput. | The participants attentively joined the introductory programe. |
Within the first two weeks, we were able to complete the full survey and start the project for 46 houses out of 50.
The problems and basic needs were identified. We are now taking steps to find most suitable and practical solutions for each problem.
Then we held our second practical workshop to demonstrate on how to make a formal bed for seed planting.
Unfortunately our targeted beneficiaries did not participate the event. But we went through with 6 project beneficiaries.
