Life is like this

Under the prevailing problematic environment in the country, people face so many difficulties to meet their daily needs.

Most of the tiny shops that used to be seen on both sides of main roads are no more. An unbearable price hike could be seen when purchasing in each & every commodity.

Poverty can be observed to increase relative to this decline in the purchasing power of Sri Lankans.

As a result, the poor have to starve.😪

Therefore, it is more important than ever to help those in need around us as much as possible.

So, we decided to purchase food items for a needy family when we buy our monthly requirement. Thanks God, during last two months, we were able to do it. Hope to continue as far as possible.

The following photo shows the house of the family we helped last month.An elderly woman (may be nearly 65 years old) lives there with her son.

It is impossible to plan to build a new residence for them due to they reside at the reservation of a tank.

A Sri Lankan lady (a batchmate of Nihal) who is interested in charity work sent us a considerable amount to help the Needy. She lives in Canada & requested us to help Widows.

So, we were lucky to find out a family with four girls whose father has expired recently. Father was a labourer & it was an unfortunate untimely death. His widow is so helpless as she is unemployed.😪

Yesterday we bought their monthly or one & half months requirement of rice.Expect to visit them today afternoon with the other essential food items if possible.Because Nihal is still in the queue of nearby fuel shed.😪 Fuel is not yet delivered to the shed.

It is impossible to say what kind of situation we will face due to fuel shortages in the near future. We belong to essential services. Don't know how to go to work hereafter. 🙄
