Janet Rani Perera (47) lives with her 24-year old son Jeevaka Nirosh Roshan next to Shiromi in Kudapayagala. Nirosh works in a Free-Trade Zone garment factory. They live just outside the 100-m zone. Rani holds the check we gave her. Nirosh holds his nephew.
Rani's sister K. T. Mary Jacintha Silva (44) lives on the other side of Shiromi's house. She is widowed and has two sons Janaka Nonis (23) and Dilupa Nonis (19). Janaka works in a paint company in a suburb of Colombo while Dilupa lives with her.
The last time we were here (January 22) Dilupa was working diligently on a temporary structure to live in.
This is where they live now.
Hopefully the $1,000 we gave them will allow them to re-build at least a portion of their house.
