Pavithra, 25, a rehabilitated ex-
LTTE cadre is now a successful entrepreneur in her own
right. She today earns a good income by selling fruits such
as papaw and plantains, a far cry from the days when she was
holding a gun and living under the ever present danger of
death after being forcibly conscripted by the LTTE. She has
passed the GCE (O-L) and obtained three Cs at the the A-Ls.
Her father drives a tractor purchased from the
Rs 7,500 donated by the IOM Organisation and earns an
additional income. Her wish is to never again witness a war
in this country. Picture by Sumanachandra Ariyawansa. |
