Children with special needs from 12 schools in the Gampaha education zone play a traditional game at the Kanthi Ground playground in Weliweriya, a town in Sri Lanka. Team members are pulled to the finish line on sheaths made from the leaves of the areca palm tree. Traditional games were part of a festival celebrating the Sinhalese Hindu New Year, which began on April 14.
