My Village
My village is Tharaperiya.It is a small village. It has lakes, temples, mountains, and paddy fields. It is in Hambanthota district of southern province. Paddy fields are around my village. More than half peoples are farmers. We are getting water from natural water spings.The lakes, rivers, and canals help to supply water to cultivate paddy.
