Dear Sister,

 

 

I used to live in Badulla. I got married on 10.08.1987. I have two daughters and one son.  On his way to the Butttala fair, my husband died of a bomb explosion. The bomb had been set targeting the bus, which my husband was travelling in. After his death, the financial situation of our family dropped to the bottom.

My elder daughter got married. Younger daughter is still studying in the school. My son is following a course at the Technical College. Life is so hard. I have to take care of all the family matters alone. When I get some labour work occasionally, I do it. This is how we live our lives today.
