In July 2013, My friend and I visited Sri Lanka. Due to our financial situation we decided that we visit Jaffna which will fit to our budget. My friend lost her wallet the day before the trip and didn't have any source of funds to spend. 

It was a very wise decision we had made, because we saw so many things that are no longer seen in western world. We spent 3 days full of Joy and happiness traveling around the city which have quite a lot of places and Hinduism,  Buddhism temples, churches, and mosques.

This is the Statue of Yarl Devi ( Mother of Jaffna )

Day One :   The Trip started by visiting two village nursery schools ( 3 to 4 years old children). We had lots of fun by singing songs and telling stories ( Photos not available ). Then to a traditional  hand-loom ( Nesavu )  place where only two girls learning how to make cotton materials. It was a very small place.

We were traveling around the fields. There were some fields which had vegetables. There was a field where there were few people preparing small onions to sent to market. My friend got in to work with the workers. It was a quiet an experience for her.

The day one is just started we have lot more to see. We saw a cremation at a cemetery. Its Mid day, not getting hungry!!! we are hungry about exploring the city of Jaffna. 

Next step is the "Arc" a center for special needs ( down syndrome ) children. There were all level of children who were about to go home for a short holiday due to the construction of new building. These kids come from home, they don't stay in the school. They get vocational training in various handmade products but don't get their normal education as our kids get here in Canada. There was a lovely beaded jewelery set for traditional dance ( bharatha natyam ).
