Parents in camp. 1 elder sister and 1 elder brother in Jaffna. 2 elder sisters in camp. 2 elder sisters in Vavuniya. 1 elder brother in another state.

She was in camp in for one year before coming here. There was no water for drinking or any bathing facilities. They cooked in the beginning after that food was rationed out allowing them to cook on their own.

Elder brother and aunt brought her to Puloly. Her sister's daughter came to the “home” after that she came.

She is not interested in going back home. She prefers it here as she is able to study and be with people who care dearly about her. Dad is handicapped so mum has to take care of dad. Parents are not able to come and visit here so much, other than her elder sister.

Mum is at home with younger brother in camp. Dad died when the army shot him down while riding on a bike 4 years ago.

She was in camp for one year before coming here. Usual things as no toilet facilities and water.

Mum brought her here to Puloly Children’s Village. She only gets to see her mum. She misses her brother dearly. It was her birthday yesterday and she was not able to see her brother because he was in camp. She likes ice cream a lot but her mum couldn't afford to buy her that for her birthday even.
