The Tsunami was a powerful experience
A mother of two from Matara shares her story of loss and survival, in the wake of the Tsunami.
In the 80’s, My mother, father and I lived here. I wasn’t married then. IN the evenings, it was usually just my mother and me. We were not allowed to light a lamp. When there was curfew, there was a shortage of food. We couldn’t go to the shops. Life was very difficult then. But we had no other problems, or thievery, or trouble from anyone. Everyone experienced this at that time.
