Once a king named Ajasaththa planned an invasion of the Lichchavee nation, and
on hearing this, Lord Buddha addressed his disciple Ananda.
Ananda, have you heard that the Lichchavees regularly
assemble together in large numbers?
I have so heard, Ananda replied.
Well Ananda, so long as the Lichchavees assemble regularly
and in large numbers, just so long may the prosperity of the Lichchavees be looked for and not their decay.
So Ananda, as
the Lichchavees assemble in harmony and disperse in harmony,
so long as they conduct their government and business in
harmony, so long the prosperity of the Lichchavees be
looked for and not their decay.
LORD BUDDHA

Working for better living conditions for the FTZ working women
The Free Trade Zone has created
thousands of jobs for men and women. These jobs are very essential to the people and to the country.
Many women come to Katunayake/Seeduwa town in search of jobs at the Free Trade Zone, mainly to be seamstresses. These are very poor women from the rural villages. Hostel facilities available for them are deplorable, with no running water, highly inadequate toilet facilities, group of girls sharing a room of 100sq. ft. with no beds,
and in some places hardly any security.
YBA has started meeting with local government authorities to make them understand the situation and persuade the land lords/owners of these hostels to provide at least the minimum facilities in their respective hostels.
Computer training program
YBA is currently conducting a free computer training program for the under privileged children who cannot afford the luxury of paying high fees.
