Daily Life In Sri Lanka

Recently built houses (sponsored by the Government of India) to replace the homes destroyed during the civil war in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. This is just one of the many reminders of the deep scars caused during the 26-year long civil war between the Sri Lankan Army and the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam). The United Nations estimates about 40,000 people were killed during the war. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
