Journey in PCV-Part 7

Name: Suyani Vijayakumar
Age: 10 years old

Dad died in war. Mum is deaf due to effects of the war and she is at home with her younger brother. Dad was sealed in a box and given to the family so she couldn't even see him for the last time.

Her dad’s brothers are sending money to the mum to make the younger brother to study as she is unable to work anywhere since she is deaf. Her dad’s brothers were also the ones who brought her to Puloly to stay in a safe hostel to study.

Name: Jeyabrintha Jeyabalasingam
Age: 17 years old

Dad died in war two years ago and mum is at home with 1 elder sister and 1 elder brother.

She was in camp for one year. When she went back to her hometown, she got to know about the ‘home’ in Puloly so her mum brought her here to study. Her brother is handicapped due to the war so she is unable to see her brother while her mum and sister visits here at the “home”.

She wants to go back home after she finishes her exam. She misses her family. She was crying when she was saying all of the above.
