My Blog, started to record my adventures as I headed off to live and work in Sri Lanka for a couple of years in March 2006. The blog is now a general record of what I am doing, I have also added the VSO process detail from April 2005 for new Volunteers reading it. Please note: the views expressed in this blog are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect those of VSO.

Haartal
A peaceful Haartal in Ampara, held after the bus bombing. The shops and offices were closed and people stayed at home for much of the day. The fires are tyres burning in the roads. This was the first time this has happened in Ampara
