On October 23, 2024, from 9.00am to 11.30am, the Lions Club of Galle Legends held a Kapruka Program at the Imaduwa Ihalakombala Grama Community Hall. The project, chaired by Lion Methsiri De Silva, aimed to encourage local food security and sustainable home gardening through the donation of 300 “Gini Waraka” jackfruit plants. With 200 community members and 6 Lions participating, the plants—valued at Rs. 54,000, with an additional Rs. 5,500 for transport—totaled Rs. 59,500. Known for their nutritional benefits and rich flavor, these plants are expected to yield fruit within three years. Residents expressed deep appreciation for the support, with many committing to planting and maintaining the jackfruit trees at their homes. The project was recognized as a significant step toward reducing food insecurity and demonstrated the Lions Club’s dedication to service and the Lion Vision.On October 23, 2024, from 9.00am to 11.30am, the Lions Club of Galle Legends held a Kapruka Program at the Ima
