My village

My village is called Tharaperiya. It is a small village in the Hambantota District in southern Sri Lanka .

There are nearly two hundred families in my village. This is an agricultural area. Most of the villagers are farmers. They grow paddy, fruits and vegetables. Then they take their produce to the village fair. There is a vast stretch of paddy fields around my village. Farmers obtain water from the village tank for their cultivation purposes.

There is a dispensary, a Co-Operative shop, a rural bank, a post office and a historical temple in my villag There are government servants too. Most of them are teachers. There is a Rural Development Society and a Death Donation Society  in my village. The villagers are very friendly. They know the value of self – help.

 My village comes under the purview of the Beliattha  Pradeshiya Sabha. The Beliattha, Hakmana main road runs through this village. Villagers live happily and peacefully. I love my village.
