Mother Sri Lanka partnered with the Ministry of Education to bring together 200 children from
the Kilinochchi and Homagama areas in a five-day camp to foster reconciliation and peaceful
co-existence among the different ethnic and religious groups in Sri Lanka.

Denuwara Mithuro, or Friends of Two Cities, is a series of camps that will create the ideal setting for
children from the north and south of the country to meet, exchange their cultural values, rituals and lifestyles, and forge lasting friendships.

This interaction between the different ethnicities was enriched by the various activities and lectures conducted at the camp.
